Paint code

Post by Stan3 »

Hi All

Am I right in thinking the ‘R1R1AB’ stamped on the plate under the passenger seat relates to the paint code and is therefore ‘Pastel white’?

Other numbers include LH 099 528, 25 4 0309 1 2540 B2 & GR 058 115.....don’t know what these would relate to?

Thanks
Phil

The code for Pastel White is L90D, so I'm not sure what that code refers to.

Good answer to the question :)

I should of course have referenced this as well but mistakenly thought clift_d had already confirmed the answer.......

Hey, that’s brilliant, thanks everyone. Love the history bit on the T3.com site!

Now for this W/E’s job...following Covkid’s excellent Wiki article on windscreen removal and tackling what’s behind the peeping eye of rust appearing....stitch in time time!
