Advice on finding paint.

[gavinr]

I'm just about to start fitting a new front spoiler, and am having difficulty finding the right paint. I have the bible but the "body code" appears to be different to the ones in the book. I have been told that the colour is a Ford one but don't know which. Any ideas?
The code is FEU 9173, it's an '84 350i in gold.

Thanks,
Gavin

I phoned the factory earlier and they said the person/department I need to speak to is in till a week on Monday. As Steve said I will probably end up getting it matched, if I get a proper code I'll post it.
Cheers for the help
