Title: Paint Codes
Post by sierra20 on May 19^th, 2009, 7:42pm

Trying to find the colour of my car just to make sure that it the right colour before i get some paint for it, i have found the vin plate explanation page, but it doesnt list my paint code on it, does anyone have a full list of the paint codes, its code 58.

Hi Lee,

Medium charcoal green it is :)

December 97 build, fully loaded with everything except reversing sensors by the looks of it?

AND traction control on a 2.3 which was an option, not many 2.3's got it. :)

I'm pretty sure the vin plate diagram is from 1995 and other colours etc were added later

Blimey Stuart. Is there anything you cant do ;) :). im currently trying to find out some info on my old beast ::). Wrote to the previous keeper who was quite helpfull, but cant trace for definate who the original owner was :(. The chap i brought it off said it was a training car for the police, based at Hendon ???. I have contacted the garage where the car was sold from, but they have no info on record :( :(. I dont suppose the minefield of information you have could shed any light could it ? Cheers buddy...craig :)

Write to the DVLA and request the info from them .. There will be small charge but they WILL give you the previous owners, well they used to .
