Default How to confirm color code?

I didn't get the original owners manual with this 2013 Boxster S...and I still wonder why Porsche stopped putting option code stickers under the hood.

Anyhow, how do I confirm what color code this 981 is?
  • Pure White C91??

Thank you.

Follow the RennBo to find the answer you seek. Click Here

For the 2013 Boxster I found C9A / 0Q (I think its a zero not an 'oh')

What's your VIN number? Plug it in here: https://vinanalytics.com/

VIN search should return the color, but not the code.

For code, see RennBow link as posted above.

Awesome, thank you...yeah, I already ran the vin at vinalaytics and others. No color codes provided.

My only challenge with RennBow is it seems to be showing two white colors when I pull up the 2013 Boxster. "White" and "Pure White".

WHITE R603 color code

PURE White C9A color code

This is my issue. With more than 1 white color, I'm unsure what mine is. Need to buy a new front tow hook bumper plug and have to confirm the right color.

When all else fails....call Porsche.


They ran my vin and pulled up "White", with color code LC9A.

Thanks for the replies gents.

Interesting...of all places to put it...yeah, well it's not there on my Boxster S.

Seems it would have only been in my owners manual documentation.

It is weird that they don't put the as built options anywhere on the car- my Cayenne has it in the trunk area under the carpet.

Exactly what I've been thinking...
