Mk3 golf Colour Code?
« on: 31 January 2012, 23:01 »
Trying to find the colour of my car as I need a new tailagate.
Unfortionately the sticker that noramlly has the code located in the boot is un-readable.
I dont have the factory book for it eather.

Is there any other way, via chassis number perhaps?

It is there as part of the Chassis number but cant recall which bit.
Might be worth ringing local VW dealer, with full number in front of you and asking them what section the code is.
Mystic Blue Mk3 16v + Black Mk5 Gti 05 plate + Peugeot 405 Mi16

Phone dealer with registration number, that should be sufficient for them to bring up the colour code
