Re: What colour is my Xantia
The paint code is 3 or 4 letters (usually beginning with E or K) on the label that also shows the tyre sizes, inside the front edge of the driver's door
The first 3 letters are for the colour, the last for solid or metallic etc
Do an internet search for the 3 with Citroen or silver

Re: What colour is my Xantia
The code will have EYC in it.
Only the very late Xantias had it on the door shut label, earlier MK2s had the paint code stencilled in black on the RH end of the bulkhead just behind the strut top, above the RP number, usually stencilled in yellow.

Re: What colour is my Xantia
Yours is late! I can tell that by the RP Number (08338CJ) It identifies the day the car was built...
The paint code is EYCC** and therefore Silver Quartz and one of the colours stocked by Halfrauds. You may find theirs is a tad dark if my experience with my daughter's Pug 206 was anything to go by...
Can silver fade?

Coincidentally that's the exact date my car was registered.Xac wrote:It was born Tuesday 7th September 1999CitroJim wrote:Yours is late! I can tell that by the RP Number (08338CJ) It identifies the day the car was built...

And that's made me idly curious how long the delivery time might be.
Is the number part of that simply a day number, so as mine is 08274CJ, would that be 64 days earlier?
