What paint code is yours IHIG60?

[orangecruz 0]

thanks IHIG60 think yours is slightly darker

[Jim 2]

I reckon thats Pearl Green, having owned a car of the same colour (see my sig!).

 

Especially looking at the contrast of the tail lights against the paintwork, etc..

 

Think the code is LC6V..

thanks jim yours looks like it was nice

Think its L6CV does that sound right? Its def pearl green whatever my code is though.

 

Yea looking at the front wing in that light it looks pearl green i agree.

 

Bad pictures for comparison as they do make it look darker and moody.

thanks for all the help anyone know of a web site you can put your chassis into to get the code

[Jim 2]

Nope. Best to just phone up VW Customer Services.. they should be able to help!

 

BTW - do you not have the original handbook for the car? There should be the same sticker in the front of that, that there was in the boot of the car.. should have the paint code on that!

Isn't there a sticker on the inner wing at the side of the airbox.

The early Corrado's are lighter in green LC6V and the later is LC6U .

 

Your will be LC6V

If you've still got the original service manual, you should have a sticker on the otherside of the front cover which will give you your paint code :)
