Probably a daft question for those who know but where do I find the paint code for my car as I want to get some piant for the new mirrors!

should be on the bulkhead name plate if I remember....

But then you have to work out what colour it actually is...so worth checking:

P420 5038, in the lists I can find a 5038 listed as brook lands racing green in 2k but but the tvr code in the lists is p148 not p420? Or am I just reading the codes wrong!

...having said that, I couldn't find mine either (now added second from bottom of the alternative paints list)!

In the end, I searched the internet for cars in roughly my colour from the era that mine was built in and tried to work out which company tvr borrowed the colour from....turned out mine was a " brooklands racing green" that jaguar made for about 1 year in the early nineties...

...then took the jag code to Halfords to get them to make me atouch up aerosol...

Best of luck.
