Is it metalic? looks like Tizian rot to be, or Titan Red if you translate it.
The best colour VW did if it is, lovely when it's shiney.

Cheers everyone.

Yeah Titan sounds familiar, vaguely rings a few bells from when I bought it. Is a lovely colour, looks proper modern like!

Anyone know the code? Will I need that?

Quite right, ramps weren't great but in my defence, trying to get a lowered bus, with front spoiler on ramps is a tricky business, had to approach at an angle & sneak up on them!

:D

Okay, have been to Halfords, who've said they can mix the colour for me (in 4 days, bit of their mixer missing/thrown away) for £10.99 in a spray can.....But Minivtec has just PM'd me to say he's done that & the colour match is crap!

Can you buy spray-cans of paint from VW? Probably not.

Halfords have Titian red metalic as a VW USA option?

Dont muck around with half twits! Just had similar problem with them and all i can say is they go the extra mile, just in the wrong direction! They couldnt match my colour and they wouldnt give me a refund.

I suggest going through the yellow pages and finding a local paint supplier who will be able to knock up a 500ml rattle can for <£10 and the will give you a refund if its the wrong colour to the the code. The colour code can be found on a small sticker located under the steering coloum.
