Parts Identification Plate
I have a T reg Vauxhall Vectra and I am trying to match the paint colour. I have looked at the Parts Identification plate under the bonnet, but it is full of meaningless numbers and I can't tell which one is the colour code. Any ideas anyone?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.from my previous experience working in Vauxhall parts ( many, many moons ago), you should ahve a chassis plate on the slam panel under the bonnet - the part above the radiator, but between the lights.
Some where on there will be two numbers and a letter, and if you're lucky, the name of the colour in German (so it'll be somethingn like 71L, Nicht Black).
The VIN of the car will be the long one mor eor less in the centre of the plate, but the colour code will be below that.
On some manufacturers, they pile a lot of numbers in together.
If you can sort of type the layout of the bottom half chassis plate (but without the VIN), then I may be able to point you in the right direction
