its in the boot under the spare wheel going from memory, or on the front page of the manual! It'll say a code and then have the colour next to it.

On the build sticker, which is under the carpet in the boot and also on the inside page of the service book. Looks like this

In the example above (not mine, of course) the engine code is BAP, the gearbox is FGE and the paint code is L041 which is Black

 

[paul-murphys]

cheers guys found it thankyou...

 

[paul-murphys]

ok i have looked everywhere an all it says about my color is its ebony black? could someone check an tell me the color code for a black lcr 52 plate... no sticker in boot an in book all says is ebony black... cheers guys...

 

[Muttley]

Where does it say "ebony", on which bit of paper?

There is a VAG paint code for Ebony Pearl Effect which is Z9W (will read LZ9W on the build sheet), but I have no idea if this was ever applied to a Leon.

Did you find a sticker in the boot, under the carpet (mine is on the left of the boot, on the boot floor not in the wheel well, but yours might just be under the spare wheel?)

 

[Ruddmeister]

It is ebony black and it's a flat black not pearl, LCR and very few LC's were Ebony, most LC's were black magic

Was a rumour some late LCR's 05 plate were a metallic black.....this may have been an FR+ mistaken for LCR though

Code should be in the boot under the carpet on the white sticker as mentioned above (or in the handbook)

 

[paul-murphys]

cant find it anywhere? looked where said... anyone with a black lcr 52 plate? help please

 

[Lodgey180]

your colour code is 041..

 

[paul-murphys]

cheers lodgey180... now got color code can get price for side skirt painted.... cheers.

 

[Muttley]

041 is the plain black that has been around on VAG cars for donkeys years.

 

[stevegti6]

in the boot mate there is a sticker on the left hand side will tell you everything about your car

 

[JamesL]

alternatively pop into a dealer and ask for a spec sheet on your car. Will say on there, along with all sorts of other stuff!

The only paint code I've seen on Mk.1 Leons that is anything like bronze is Fog Beige, S1R. It is usually described as gold-coloured.

sorry thats notthe colour its a bronzyorange colour

Done some more digging. Does this look more like it?

Although it doesn't give the colour in that thread, it was referenced by another thread which named the colour as Mandarin, which is S2P.

There is another similar colour in the VAG list, but I'm not sure if it was ever applied to Leons: S2N, Natural Copper. The colour manufacturers site I use for colour reference says it was used from 1996-1999, so probably not ever applied to Leons. Mandarin was used from 1999 to 2002.

Im also trying to find my paint code The sticker in the boot isn't there and I don't have the service book so i guess i need to go to the dealer right? or is it on any the plate in the engine bay?

 

[Alexis27]

Tell us what colour and year and we can probably tell you.
