Citroen greens...

Post by Napoleon »

As you might remember, i need a rear door (driver's side) for my confirmed 'Poseidon Green' Xantia.

This door on ebay says it's green, but the seller cannot confirm the exact Citroen colour.

Does anyone know if this green will be the same as my Poseidon green?

Thx.

Napoleon I recall mail, about your car's paint code long ago. If it's the same car it was dark green
and it was something like 'Northern deep sea troller ...' :) as you named it.
Do you remember the paint code, three letters, engine room, fire wall?

Also as DickieG mentioned a link to ebay item would be nice.

I guess most common green would be KQH (Vert Vega), see my mini Xantia in my signature :wink:

I think it's very close to mine, if not perfect, but I just wanted to check that I'm not going to make a mistake.

And well done for remembering the ESY post I made, some time ago.

To me looking at the door in the Ebay link it looks as if its Forest green or maybe the more popular Emerald green.

VERT POSEIDON (ESY) is also called as Forest Green
VERT VEGA (KQH) is also known as Emerald Green

I guess, ESY is more common in MK1 models. I checked the photo but it's difficult to say. Both greens look like each other :( .

Can you ask the seller to check the paint code from the car. Describe the location of it.

If the bodyshell has long gone, did he keep the petrol filler cap off the car
being broken that could be posted to you as a kind of paint swatch you
can compare against your own Xant? If that draws a blank the number
is usually entered in the maintenance handbook of the service pack if that
was present and got saved. May need to find the pack's new owner now
though...

I seem to recall the car being broken here was as estate but can't be sure
now so something else to be aware of.

Good idea, Malcolm, if it weren't 170 miles away...

I think the seller says the shell has been scrapped.

I think it's beginning to look like it could turn out to be a big waste of money if the colour cannot be verified - not a risk I want to take for a £20 door, I'm afraid.

If anyone's wondering why I need a door, it's because the window mechanism on this one is completely jiggered, and I went on to completely jigger the door trim trying to find out what was wrong with the window mechanism!

Thanks for all the ideas guys; if anything changes, I'll let you know how it goes.

Does the owner have any of the documents left? Any thing at all that may indicate the VIN?

With the VIN, the colour can be checked on Service Citroen.

Where-abouts are you located?

I am slowly breaking an S1 1.9TD VSX in Posiedon green (at least the sticker inside the tailgate said VERT POSIEDON).

IIRC the paint code is ESY - but like an idiot I didn't take a photo of the RP No. The car is stored a couple of miles away so I'd need to go and check both the piant code and the state of the OSR door - as far as I can remember it's in good nick though all the paint is a bit dull.

Toby - I think the seller has become tired of my questions... I've had no reply for a day or so. It might be his business, I think it is, so maybe he's got the weekend off...

Old Guy, I'm in Bristol, South Glos, so perhaps a bit closer...

I'll PM you now.
