open boot, look on panel that holds the VW badge onto the car. Code is on a label there.

I would double check, pretty difficult for them to just go missing. They are not the most obvious things in the world.

Your paint code is very rarely in any manual that comes with any car. Short of that, VW "should" be able to go off your numberplate.

I found my paint code label under the bonnet inside the driver's side wing.

What year is it? it looks quite modified, so if its a genuine small bumper, it couls have had a re-spray as I'm pretty sure mettalic black came after small bumpers

Its a 90 on a G reg, the 'person' who had it b4 me decided to put the CL bumpers on and remove half of the GTI trim, i dont know why he said it was because he didnt like the GTI trim on them, it has got alot done to it though, Porche electric seats, lowered on adjustables 60mm all round etc, poly bushes all round, short block Audi bottom end, etc etc im just confused on colour now though :D

Long shot but try your local car paint suppliers and see if they can match it, they have paint chips so should be able to.
