there are stickers :
- in the owners manual in the glove box (if still there)
- a white sticker in the boot; near the spare wheel well:
on these stickers you have engine/gearbox code, other codes and the paint code (it always starts with an L..); this is for example L90E (alpin white), have no clue about your paint code though..

don't think its calypso... I had a mk2 in that colour and it wasnt anything like that. Unless they changed the shade at some point obviously. Oh and VW can tell ya. Tell them the chassis number/ reg number and you can get a spec printout from your dealer. |

Took on rust today. Frontal attack on one section of front wing, unearthed some more so attacked that as well...winning on that front, temporarily.
Then whilst investigating options for a pincer movement to attack the vulnerable bootlid grot, i discovered it had backup in deep cover around the numberplate recess waiting to surprise me. Retreated to regroup and fight another day.
Sorry, i think the smell of solvents has gone to my head...
