Is it really true that the colour is defined totally by just the three centre characters of the code, and that the L's in the paintcode on the boot label are redundant?Įdit: Have subsequently conducted a number of searches on the Web regarding VAG Group paintcodes and have been unable to find any grey called Nimbus Grey for the yr-2017 Polo, or for any other of recent years. And Nimbus Grey was the colour I understood the car to be from the very day I bought the vehicle and is shown in the original description for it.Īs far as I'm aware, for the UK market, the only other grey produced in my vehicle in the 2015 - 2017 period has been Urano Grey.
Paintcode 86f full#
Other than to cause utter confusion with owners, I can't see why VW would decide to change the colour description, can you? Incidentally, the full paintcode LD7RL is what's given on the label in the boot and in the vehicle's maintenance schedule booklet. I've therefore had to order the touch-up paint on that basis. Obviously, the results could be disasterous if the two don't match.
I queried it of course but the parts man insisted that that's what it is, going simply by 'D7R'. Is there any known reason why VW should change the description of a vehicle's colour from when that colour was first used? I've needed to buy some touch-up paint - Nimbus Grey (metallic) for my 2017 Polo - which has paintcode LD7RL - but when ordering it from the local dealer I was told that, under 'D7R', their parts catalogue shows the colour as Pepper Grey.
