RS6plusMTM Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thats a VAG code for Ice Silver, I thought GTIs swapped silvers sometime during its production, but somebody on here is bound to know the full facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 What year is it, mine's reflex silver.I think the moon was from the start and there was a changeover period where they produced both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Where did you get the code? Inside cover of you handbook, or the label in the boot. May also be on the VIN plate in the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y412 jsh Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 engine bay, car manual and car boot is all the same, a guy on here who knows his colours pm'd me and he said it must of been a one off or a special order that wasn't available normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Special order.?...but the years are weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y412 jsh Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 a guy called NFBR said that the colour it is wasn't available without it being a special order or a one off colour, im just saying what i was told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I wasn't saying it's not true, just that it's only referenced from 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y412 jsh Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Well I honestly don't know how I have that colour then as I looked on google with the paint code too and Audi a4/5's come up for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
