on the other hand, finding panels for this colour is hard!

What colour interior you got?

I got Slate grey. That is a ***** to find.

A 1.9TDI W reg Hibiscus red pearl Saloon B5 is parked on the same street as me. very clean, almost untouched.

 

[boost-addict]

i have a tqs that has aluminium looking trim, black leather arm rest and door card inserts, and a graphite grey (could even be slate grey as you mention) headlining and pillar trims, then have half leather bucket style seats. with a light black material,

to be honest i havent tried getting any interior parts other then a drivers door card, which came with a tan material insert, 2 window switches and no puddle light, which i had to swap over from my door card. but as the little alarm light is on the door pin and the replacement one didnt have one ive messed up the card a little and theres a split in the trim were the pin is.

so will get another door card hopefully with the same trim or at least arm rest insert because i had to remove and reglue mine and its not been done 100% looks good but i notice a gap and its sunk back a little

still as my car is a little shabby spesh the bumpers im after all the panels including boot and bumper, going to take some time but hoping to find good unmarked parts which will save me getting the whole car sprayed, but it may just have to be done, that or wrap it orange and paint the wheels black!!

[aragorn]

In the boot there will be a sticker, in or near the spare wheel well, with the color code on it. It'll look something like "LY5L", find that then you'll know what color it is!

 

[crazy88]

Mine is LY7W, Light Silver Metallic. And no surprises...it's the most common so far!
