Where did you look for the sticker?

A mate of mine looked for the sticker in his boot, assuming it would be stuck on the rear panel, but I found it underneath the carpet next to the spare wheel..

Yeah, from the information on http://boneybradley.webs.com it says Classic Red and Flash Red were the only solid red colours in production in 1996-1998.

Mine definitely isnt flash red, so it should be Classic Red.. Arghhh this is a nightmare!

Ive pulled the spare out and lifted all the carpets up in the boot, but cant find the sticker.
