Walesy 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Hi mate, looks Bordeuax red to me...have a look for the paint code which should be on a sticker on the inside of the rear panel (inside the boot) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h51mon 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Yeah cheers guys. A bit confused to be honest the sticker in the boot looks original and gives engine code as ABV but the code qouted for the colour is wait for it ...LP7Z... The rear panel is in tact not replacement and even has the original inspection sticker which is dated 12/94 so not sure wwere I am.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted November 5, 2007 LP7Z is, apparently, light grey.. a 1991 colour?! Zoiks. Have you checked in the handbook? If its original to the car, it should have a copy of the same sticker in the front of the book... maybe the one that went into the car was misprinted or something weird? The car does look very nice indeed though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just checked the service book and identical sticker in there weird but somebody has written next to it Sherry Pearl LC2U.Does this sound like a Rado colour?

Jim 2 Posted November 5, 2007 Sherry Pearl is indeed a Corrado colour, and was I believe a 1994 colour so that would tie up. I can only assume that if all stickers are there and everything else checks out, it was just a misprint! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h51mon 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Have spoken to VW UK yesterday and apparently it was registered as Sherry Pearl (LC2U) but has the labels recorded as LP7Z. Glad to finally clear it up .Thanks for the help Fella's. Started to detail it so soon as I finish will post pics and hopefully will look like the colour its meant to be..
