First, I can't believe Jeff hasn't uploaded an image of his car onto the file! Next, the color codes are those that appear on Cardex, but aren't the ones usually used as a color descriptor. 12G is what's on my cars paperwork (in the maintenance book and under the carpet), but X4 is what shows on my Cardex.

Yeah, I'll get to it. I'm too busy entering coupe data into Excel. I have less then a year to finish for the next celebration or else I'll be confronted with a lot of angry coupe owners!!!

As for the codes, I understand the two character codes are sales codes for exterior colors (D3 for Iris Blue, listed and sales materials) and the four character codes are the paint codes and sometimes the same color has mulitple codes to refelect a change in paint type. L39N and L39U are both paint codes for Iris blue.

I've seen a lot of nice ones lately. My favorite, maritime blue, for example. Well, favorite, tied with red!

Guards Red


I'll leave Horizon Blue for Scott.

Midnight Blue...

Kinda sad when the only pictures without numbers on the car are the ones with the roof rack on it!
