NedKelly Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 I'm putting my Gal up for sale this week but i want to touch up some minor scratches, trundles off to Halfords only to find i didn't know which exact colour i need, there's loads of blue's!!!Have looked on the passenger side B pillar but all i can find is an airbag sticker!Am i looking in the right place?, is the B pillar the one that separates the front & rear doors?It's a 2000 W plate MK1 Confused.com Quote
Mr Poisson Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 ned if you ring the fraud dealer, give them the car reg, they can tell you exactly what blue you have. just a thought Quote
Mr Poisson Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 hi all it is on the b pillar, the one between drivers door and rear door, low down. the sticker has lots of boxes you are interested in the 7 smaller boxes adjacent to the ford logo happy to help Quote
NedKelly Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 if you ring the fraud dealer, give them the car reg It had a Private reg on til last week when those nice people at the DVLA gave it a new one. Am i right in looking at the pillar that separates the passenger side doors? If it's not there then where is it? I can see the No. that shows through the windscreen on the passenger side, would that do? Quote
NedKelly Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 Just had another look, there's deffo nothing there except an airbag sticker. Hang on a bit, i'll get the Digi camera out. Quote
Mr Poisson Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 the number through the windscreen is th VIN number, this contains info about when and where made etc. the VIN plate, or sticker usually lives on the passenger b-pillar. might be worth a snout under the bonnet? Quote
NedKelly Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 Here goes http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h187/biolizard131/2006_0319Image0019.jpg Quote
NedKelly Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 Can't see it under the bonnet, just some plates about refrigerant etc.... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h187/biolizard131/2006_0319Image0022.jpg Quote

NedKelly Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Posted March 19, 2006 Just noticed it looks as if i've got a couple of inches of water inside my headlamps!It must be a trick of the light coz there isn't. I won't be doing any more photies tonight because a couple walking their dog have just witnessed one of their neighbours photographing his car in his PJ's and dressing gown at 10.30pm. Thanks for the replies so far guys. I'll have another dekko tomorrow Ned Quote
chromedome Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Just found it on mine. Lift the bonnet. As you look at it, top left had side, down the hole near the bonnet hinge. Really good place to put it!!! Quote
NedKelly Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Posted March 20, 2006 it only leaves the washed out blue that is MEDIUM STEEL BLUE I rang the local fraud dealer and gave them the vin no. and it is indeed medium steel blue! Top Chap Doa2 top left had side, down the hole near the bonnet hinge Found it! It was completely covered in grime so was impossible to see without prior knowledge. Thanks ChromeDome Quick visit to Halfords for a "stone chip & scratch repair system" and the colour match is superb and that's without putting the lacquer coat on! Nice one Guys Quote
