MK5 Paint Code

Postby viscousv6 » Tue Nov 17, 2020 10:31 am

Hi all, hope your keeping well. Quick question, how can I pinpoint the paint code on a 1998 R Reg MK5? I know there are quite a few shades. I am guessing its Diamond White, and she's still in her original factory colour, thanks in advance!

It will be Diamond white, and the code should be on a plate on the bonnet slam panel IIRC.

Check the VIN plate for colour code..... guide here viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10363&c=1
and as Al said it should also have a plate on the slam panel with the code on but sometimes they go missing.
