Vincygav Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 It is on the VIN plate under bonnet. Usually 2 or 3 characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, mine says MA1 but can't seem to find a colour for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincygav Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I think you have the wrong bit. What is the main colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincygav Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 You can see the location of the code here https://www.carcolourservices.co.uk/images/pdf/color-code/ford.pdf Alternatively you can put your registration in FORD ETIS and it would tell you the colour of the car https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swcortina Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Thanks, the etis link doesn't seem to work and the other link is for newer fords. The car is a burguny red, the part of the vin plate that states the colour is along the bottom of the plate.

usmnau2 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Coding is a powerful way to bring ideas to life and solve problems creatively. You can also learn fun ways to express messages, like using i love you morse code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haali Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Mk5 paint codes can sometimes be confusing because different production years and regions used slightly different references. The easiest way to confirm the exact code is usually by checking the sticker inside the boot area or driver-side door panel instead of relying only on online charts. I’ve also noticed that keeping these identification systems simple and pattern-based makes troubleshooting much easier. Even small tools built around signal and pattern recognition, like https://morsecodetranslatr.com/, show how structured codes become easier to understand when everything follows a clear format. Hopefully you manage to find the correct shade match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
