Please go to detailing forum, look for message from Hocky to diesselady on 16/9/02 relating on where to search in the front under the hood on panel in front of radiator... code plate. 2nd last line should have your code number. If it has an alphabet next to it, thats the one. Some don't have any alphabet next to it. 3 characters of the alphabet which should be in your service book on the last page on the top right hand corner. This is printed on a tear off type of computer print stuck to the back cover. Trace to paintscratch.com and find your colour. Colour name may not be the same as the German name, but the code refers to the paint mixture required.
