Bob-best bet, go into a vw dealership, go up to one of the desks(i go to my local parts desk normally, as i get on with them) and ask for the paint code for your car, they printed me a load of documents of info on my car they had on file on top  :smiley:

looked everywhere in the boot? Cos it's actually on the panel that the vw badge is on, so you have to sort of bend into the boot and look as if you wanted to look at your knees through the vw badge on the outside. Tis well hidden.

i found where the sticker SHOULD BE, but it appers that someone has rubbed off the sticker as all that is left is a sticky rectangular mark where the adhesive bit is left behind. i have also taken mattneck's advice and spoken to the dealers and they gave me the code 041. arent there meant to be letters envolved in paint codes?

Should be a code in the form of something like LA6U. On my car it's on a yellow/orange sticker as you look under the bonnet on the inside of the drivers wing.
