pug 406 estate, colouring?

Post by Didger »

Heya folks,

Wanted to say 'hi' to the forum, an jump right into my question :)

We own a T reg 406 estate which of lastnight has just had it's drivers side wing mirror ripped off while parked over the otherside of the road, I'm after some help with the car colouring... Where on the vehicle would I find the actual colour 'code'? I've looked at the basic paperwork we have and it just mentions 'blue', lovely eh

I've found some mirrors with the colouring code of 'miami' blue, but even then images are not always best to go by are they :)

Kind regards,
Didger

the color code is printed inside a sticker on the A pillar, near where it states which pressure your tyres should be.

Cheers for giving me some good advice.

I've now found out from that wiki our colour for the car is the 'Samarkan' hehh I nearly thought it to be 'Miami' blue :)
Now I've either gotta eBay for some wing mirrors or maybe I might be able to put a post in on this forum and find a one or a set from you guys :)

Cheers again matey!

if your coloured area isnt damaged this can be removed and fitted to another mirror quite easily to save you having to colour match your new mirror
