There's a white label on the bodywork,inside your drivers door shut,near the door latch. However I can do better than that.Coral Blue is 3VU & according to my list the Vauxhall part No. for touch-up is 93 160 990.Don't panic if they tell you it's chagall blue. Steve

Steve,

in your handy dealer fashion, are you able to provide the same info for the code of the silver touch up stick?

In addition, I'm presuming it's something that should be readily available from the parts shop if I just turn up at the dealer?

Cheers
Nick

Hi i'm after some Europa Blue touch up paint. I know the code is 2KU but wondered if it had some other name (ala Coral Blue = Chagrell Blue) that might make finding it in my local Halfords an alternative to my dealer ordering some in. Cheers?

Nick,
Sorry I've only just spotted this(I'm on hols,off to Portugal tomorrow & I've no idea how I'll cope without this site for a week :o ) 2OU is correct,thats 1 number 2 letters,can't check the part number til I get back.However DO NOT let a dealer fob you off with Star Silver(standard Vauxhall Silver,not the same),it's highly unlikely that a dealer will have it in stock(even we don't),but they do come through quite quickly.

Valentine,
Europa Blue is not unique to the VX it's also used on the Astra Coupe/Convertible so it should be easier to get hold of(we stock it),& yes it has another name but to much information could confuse your dealer.

Thank you other Steve
Steve
