rovervi Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have just been halfords to get a touch up pen and said the colour was 3L2 so she searched the computer and there it was but there was also a 3L2/L, i have told her i am pretty sure its 3L2 so she is mixing that (unless i call them quick smart) but does anyone know for definite?

Ian W Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 It could be worth noting that given the age of your car, it's possible that a 3L2 red may not actually match your car's paintwork perfectly. should be fine for a touch up mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 L means lighter shade. not alot in it really... although reds can be a bitch to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 this is a pic of the code on the plate: You can see 3L2, but it says L after but i think the L is part of the trim code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
