the paqint code is on a sticker in the boot of the car. look down onto the back panel when the boot is open and you should see it.

Not that I would want to spoil things, but I had an 88 jetta which was gold, and was stated gold on the V5, however the boot sticker gave me a code that was for polar silver!! never did find out what colour it was  :sad:

La7V is what was written on the sticker in my jetta, but the car was definately not polar silver!
