Vehicle Id. No.
Engine No.

Thanks,

Body Code is the paint id, often starts with P422 (indicating an ICI paint) followed by the code.

Build number is not recorded on the car although it may be available from Surface and Design as they have access to some build records.

Isn't the build number the last 4 digits of the VIN?

Just looked at the Body Code and its 9560010.
Does that sound like a paint code ?
Its supposed to be Bentley Sappire Blue.
All the ones I've seen discussed on here before had letters in.
Searched tiniternet but no luck frown
BUT found a thread on another forum with a guy asking for Dark Sapphire Blue which looks just like mine (except hes had to make do with a Bentley).
Anyway, he was told the colour code is LR5W and is called Luna Blue and its a Volkswagen colour.
