Hello
Is there a link on this forum anywhere in the archives that allows you to find out which colour your car left the factory. While I have the engine out I want to paint the engine bay and I am sure my car has had a colour change in the past.
Thanks Paul

Is the original paint code tag missing from the driver's door jamb?

He may not realize what it is. Paul, look for the word "Kunstharzlack" on the stamped metal tag with a code stamped below it. Match that number up to this chart:

Cheers Paul
