Where is the colour code on my mk3
« on: 03 July 2011, 21:22 »
Might seem a silly and very simple question but where can I find the code for the colour of my mk3 gti. It's a red 16v but I know there are a few different reds. Need a few panel so want to get the right colour code.
Cheers.

Sticker under the carpet in the boot, or same sticker on service book.
