Had a look in the bonnet today but couldnt find anything like a vin plate, eventually found it on the pillar behind the offside rear door



so looking at that i'd say i need paint code 466 which translates as barents blue.

so i'll get ordering. unless anyone on here thinks i'm wrong

I don't think what you've posted is the full VIN plate which is usually found on the inner-side N/S wing UK and will have the redacted data relating to the car's fitments/paint colour/engine size & performance code et al on manufacture and leaving the factory -- it is located on the N/S inner wing immediately beside and partially obscured by the air cleaner box in models from 1999 to 2007.

Well to wrap up this thread i finished the job by painting the trim to match my car, barents blue. its by no means perfect, i tried with lacquer but it was so cold it went cloudy so its just the paint which has a bit of a matte finish without laquer, but it is a hell of a lot less noticable, only took an hour or two to finish and stops my ocd driving me nuts.

I have another can of paint so maybe when summer rolls around i'll do a better job with lacquer, its no show car, as you can see its an adventure wagon
