HAR HAR HAR

I was expecting that lol.. i've looked on that thread and others lol it was in the boot, but there's only reminents of the sticket left  I literally am about to cry.. i've been reading your thread on car cleaning GTi Guy and it's motivated me.. all i need to do first is find out this damn colour code so I can touch up/fix some problem areas :embarassed:

RIng your local VW parts desk and give them the reg, they'll tell you waht colour code it is.

hey that's great! thank you!! don't worry you will find the right paint code... just be really careful using touch up paints... if you have to use touch up then use a cocktail stick..  or you might end up with a touch up nightmare like this...



you might also find this thread useful if you haven't seen it...

you'd be surprised how much difference a decent polish and some time can make to a car... i thought mind needed a respray before i worked on it... now there are only one or two deep scratches

keep at it and if you need any help or advice you know where we are!

[Ashley]

Cheers buddy ill be sure to read through it..

I called vw just now and they've told me it's LP5U which is "Bright Blue Metalic"!

Problem solved.. If any of you look on the bonnet of the above pic, you'll see a giant key mark in the bonnet. It's that + some surface rust on the driverside front wing which I'm going to be looking into doing. I'm trying to find a thread on this kind of thing.. can anyone help?

Thanks again GTi Guy + horney, great help

[Guy]

needs a damn good clean first!! 

and you'd be better off starting with a claying so you can see where you stand with your paintwork... you'll be amazed by the difference

does your fingernail 'catch' in the key mark on the bonnet?
