Car colour

[jamesbilluk]

Hi all

I’m in the process of ordering a rear spoiler online for the XC70, they can paint it as well, I was wondering how I find what black my car is, it’s a metallic black in a 2008 XC70.

There is a list of paint codes here:
https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/paint_colour_codes.shtml

On your car's body plate there should be a number that corresponds with one of the blacks or anthracites on this list. The body plate is the sticker with the axle weights, etc on it - nowadays located below the hinge of the rh rear door pillar.

You can also dig out a relevant price list from the following list to see which colours were available in any particular MY.(currently only available from 2011 onwards unfortunately, but included here in case anyone else with a later car needs the same info). https://www.volvocars.com/uk/leasing...mys-pricelists

Lastly, you could ask a dealer parts desk what colour your car is. They will just need a reg no or VIN number

Seems to be black sapphire metallic

Out of interest, are you able to share more details? Cost/seller?
Will be interested to see the end result.

I’ve hankered after one for a while, but never been convinced by the effort vs reward in getting one from Eastern Europe via eBay.
Seen a few full tailgates with spoilers from scrapped cars, but never in my colour, so never follewed up.

No problem at all, this is the one I’ve been messaging- it’s £80 for the spoiler, I’ve just received a message from them too, the paintings an extra £120
