Paint code
« on: 17 February 2011, 17:49 »
I have a black 1997 8v GTi, did this come in more than one black or is that enough info to get the code?
I know there is a lot of info here already about it, but I'm having trouble as there is no sticker in the boot, I dont have the manual, and its had a reg change as its imported from northern island so it isnt on some databases

cheers :)

if its metallic then it's lc9z black magic


(although there are about 4 different shades to that dependent on year but only 1 colour code!!)

Looked at the sticker in the wheel well in the boot?That (if still there) will tell you your paint code. :smiley:
