cant find paint code
« on: 02 July 2010, 10:41 »
I've looked in the guide, but as you can see from the picture the sticker has been wrecked, from the previous owner trying to take out the rear interior i expect

So would anyone be kind enough to circle on the picture or tell me exactly where to look? i can see most of the sticker if i hold it up to the light, it would just make it alot easier if i knew exactly where to look

All the paint codes are here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=58234.0

At least, if your car is black or red, it makes it a bit easier to find the exact color  :rolleyes:
