Hi All.

I repaired the trunk lid for a blonde dasmel in distress recently. The trunk was immaculate and of course, I had to peel the carpet back from the access panel to gain access to the bolts that hold the panel in place. The trunk lid hinge pin had backed out.

So, now before placing the panel back on, I want to have the Velour carpet replaced. It appears to be a dark chocolate brown color to me. Attached is a pic of the data plate under the hood and also the manufacturing plate.

Can someone please provide me the name and color code of the carpet? And has anyone recently purchased bulk carpet? I found some old threads. I also found complete trunk kits online; just want some raw carpet.

Thanks.

The plate will not list the interior color code. I can't read the VIN on the warranty plate. Post the VIN or have the owner contact the Classic Center with proof of ownership. They can provide the data card.

The 233 seat fabric eludes me as it skips that number but the carpet (409) is Durkelbraun
EDIT: 233 Seat covers are Brazil

Can you interpret those color names?

Well, the blonde damsel is now looking for an Idle Control Valve. Anyone have a known working unit ?

If not, what's the best source?

Thanks.
