Default Interior code questions

Two questions where is the code, and where can I find the translation so I know what color it is?

I think it is on the sticker on the underside of the luggage compartment lid. You should look for two letters. I think mine also has it on the underside of the front carpet as well.
As for translation - the two letters then link to a multitude of options. Main dealer query with your chassis number is probably your best option.

You might want to invest in Adrian Streathers' new book:
Porsche 964, 993 and 996
Data Plate code breaker

I bought the book and I don't even own a Porsche. Just a dreamer that loves to read.

Mike,
This was something i checked out some months ago out of interest. Unfortunately I was unable to identify all the codes, particularly the interior code, which in my case is 'SW'. Adrian's enthusiasts manual didn't list this code either. Two other codes I couldn't identify were 740 and 10011. I also used a web site where you just entered all your codes and it listed what they stood for, although this couldn't identify the three I've mentioned here. I'll post back with the link. It might help you.

And to confirm the ident label (as already mentioned) is under the bonnet and also a duplicate, stuck to the inside of the service book !
