Can someone tell me the correct colour code for my car, please? Does the VIN state this?

I'm not too knowledgeable with post-facelift colours but I can tell you it's not Sterling Grey. This was only available on the first three years of E85 production, i.e pre-facelift cars up to 2006. You should have an information placard on the inside engine-bay corner of drivers/offside front wing. This is mine and shows 472, which is the code for Sterling Grey and also that the base coat is Schwarz :thumbsup: 20220729_162148.jpg

Hard to tell by the pics,but it looks like either Stratus Grey(if it changes colour in different lights/from different angles,with hints of copper/brown tones etc ,then it's probably Stratus.
If not,it could be the equally relatively rare other Grey of Space grey?

As Simon, patriot 66 said,look at your Firewall/engine bay,and it will tell you the colour name in German,and the paint code number.

If it's Space grey,its A52.
If it's Stratus Grey,its 440.
The name would probably tell you enough.
Hope that helps :thumbsup:

Lovely, and very rare too. It looks like the UK only got 4 3.0Si Roadsters in Stratus Grey with red leather!

A forum member compiled a database of all 3.0Si and M models - here's a link:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html

Yes,they sure are rare. Seen a couple over the years,a few forum members have owned one or two.
Very nice,in different lights.
