The details of the original colour code will be displayed, in code, on the VIN plate. The details of how to read it are HERE. If you are unable to get that detail put up another post asking if someone can tell you the detail from the index number. If they can you can send them a PM. Don't put the Index mark on the open forum.

Rot is Ericspeak for red, according to babel fish, that is the correct spelling.

hi scott i did assume rot was red so it seems the colour of my car would be kastanien red xsc2776.highlander is checking for me as we speak the very nice person he is so as soon as he confirms my theory i will get my bumper sent to be sprayed .i was quoted 200 pounds from FMD to spray and fit but maybe i can get it done a wee bit cheaper.
