had a look in the boot. and cant see the sticker, unless it is at the bottom of the wheel well  :undecided: i have also looked on the V5 (is that the right one) and it says the colour is "black"....i know that!!! but are there any other shades of black that were available?

Is there a sticker on the inside of the drivers side wing when you look under the bonnet?

Bob-best bet, go into a vw dealership, go up to one of the desks(i go to my local parts desk normally, as i get on with them) and ask for the paint code for your car, they printed me a load of documents of info on my car they had on file on top  :smiley:

looked everywhere in the boot? Cos it's actually on the panel that the vw badge is on, so you have to sort of bend into the boot and look as if you wanted to look at your knees through the vw badge on the outside. Tis well hidden.
