#1: Paint codes and model years Author: HFStuart, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:40 am ---- I know my new Gti Hdi (yes I know but I'll cope if/when it goes horribly wrong) is Flamenco Red (KKN) and I know from the FAQ there were three non metallic reds in europe, Ardent, Cherry and Flamenco. I want to replace the fake alloy filler cap which I think is hideous, so I'm after some advice.
Does anyone know what years each paint code was used ( eg Cherry Red launch - 2002 then Flamenco 2002-2005) or were they all used at the same time?

Do you happen to know when Ardent and Cherry were used?
Many thanks.

why not get the cap and if its wrong then respray it?
#6: Re: Paint codes and model years Author: HFStuart, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 2:04 pm ---- That's what I'll do but I wanted to give myself the best chance of not having to spray it. The replies have helped loads.

mux was introduced in late 2001 and has nothing to do with phase 1/2
Ardent is Diablo red I think, which is a rich blood red type colour
Cherry red is non-metallic
Flamenco is metallic
