But that one isn't your car... it's the press image from the silly family week story

Anyway, there is a paint code on the car, I think it is on a label inside the frame of one of the front doors.

i know its not mine, mines is exactly the same. im not looking for the code im looking for the colour name hence the question does anybody know what the colour of my cars is

colour code is usually on the label stuck on the inside of the Inspection Manual and also in the Boot well.

the colour is shown as a "code" usually 3 or 4 letters/numbers

if you PM me the VIN number I could look it up on ETKA.
