Kaz 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi guys, I'm a bit of a newbie to VR's, only having picked up mine a the weekend. So please excuse this very basic question.I bought the car cheap, as it needs work including paint. It looks like it's been car washed it's entire life, the paint is at flat as anything - but I have budgeted for an entire re-spray - great!My question is, I can't find the build sticker in the boot to find out what colour the car is, I have spent some time looking for codes for 'VW black's' - but there seems to be loads of them, and I can't work out which ones are specific to the mk3.It's a P reg 96 non highline VR - can anyone one tell me? as I have no idea if there were multiple blacks used on the mk3.Thanks!Sorry, this is the only pic I have that's not completely out of focus!

craggsy 91 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 LC9Z - Black Magic Pearl....does it change colour in sunlight? Link to post Share on other sites
Kaz 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 No idea - it was filthy when I got it, put a quick coat of polish on it tonight - but it was getting dark by the time I finished so that's not something I noticed.It looks quite shiny in the picture, it's not really!
