Colour code will be on the sticker in the boot, on the drivers side turret/wheel arch. That is if it hasn't been worn off/removed/painted over! There's an FAQ on it on club polo which may help, I don't know myself.

Car looks real nice in that pic BTW.

Mine  is pearl grey which looks similar, LA7U i think off the top of my head.

Best bet is to take it to a proper paint place, and they will match it for you..... will work out better, as there are slight variations on the colours (when i went with mine, they had a card with different shades on it and matched the correct shade to my paint, to mix it up).

Also the paint is usually bettter quality too, so much better all round!!!!

I think it's in the chassis number, may be wrong though. Check the VIN plate too, sometimes on them...... Or go to the dealers and give them your reg they can print out the details that were entered (usually badly)  when the first dealer registered it.

the opening page of your service book is a data sticker, if it is not there there should be at least the remains of it, if not, then question your service history
