It should give you it on the plate on the slam panel. If you're looking online look under Holden colours instead of Vauxhall.

Al have a closer look wen I get a chance over the weekend but looks to me like some sort of base primer under the stone chips,,on my one my anyway,more so on the front.
Good point tho,,,are they supposed to be a bare plastic finish?

Yes, I'm sure our VXR8 was. Maybe yours has been refinished?
