ah ok, well that explains the door trims lol, they are the similar to berlina but still have sl grab handles and that

Stray · 31-03-11, 14:04

Whats the code for black around the windows on the later VL's ?

Im positive I've read it somewhere on here but couldnt find it.

vip_87 · 07-02-12, 03:44

finally i now know wat the production option 225 means, nice one. Do you know if wagons could've come with the 'a9u' option without it being coded? ie; a berlina wagon with a calais front, but not an export as the code suggests. (just tryin to work out whether my front end is aftermarket or not)

HIIPSI · 04-07-12, 23:19

Awesome amount of info! Will help me out a tonne! cheers dude!.... on a completely unrelated question - can someone please tell me if there is an article on how to mount b&m shifters, above console or underneath?

cheers

Sorry if it's a dumb question but i'm new to this and I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled across the paint codes, because i really want to get it right (need to respray my front end).

thanks

Don't know if this was answered by anyone else but the D is short for Dulux

Gents is it remotely possible(I dont think so) to have what looks like an original berlina with the plate number

VL8VK19-A8Q

Pretty sure I've been robbed

aus880 · 23-08-13, 15:13

from memory that's a V8 exec code

Most likely. That's the code for an SL sedan with 6 cylinder Exec pack (only used for turbo's in July and August 1986 and changed to A8R after that).

=SHARKY= · 23-08-13, 15:43

The VIN Plate is 8K196H

F##k looks like I just bought Australia's most expensive executive, definately been ripped by the looks.

I'm just going off to cut my wrists, I do not want to be disturbed thanx....lol

fleas · 02-09-13, 16:27

Is the SL/Executive rear centre console MX Grey colour?

They would sell this colour in touch up paint cans in Super cheap, repco wouldn't they?

fleas · 05-09-13, 09:45

Anyone?

Bit of a thread revival
Just wondering what are the 4 digits before the trim colour codes on some VL's?
Noticed a Berlina Formula Turbo (made me very moist) for sale and has
3038-23I

Melbourne built cars are plated with that trim/paint combination code.
3038 is the code for 1J052 Alpine White with Cerulean interior.
Adelaide didn't bother for some reason.

VLZEBUB · 13-02-14, 23:02

so after looking thru this list i still cannot see my car i can see options but my paint code does not match up to the vehicles stated above 1F003-D yet my car in neither a fire vehicle nor a nitron (as far as i can tell) it is a base model exec with Limited Edition decals on the boot and along the doors below the bump strips/moulds. Apparently it is a dealer pack, also with the vin decoder it tells me my car is an 88 but it is a sep 87. Any help would be much appreciated also i was told there were approx 500 made but cannot find any info anywhere. thanks in advance.

Not even coming up in The Bible that I have.
Do you have a pic of the plate?

Possibly a fleet colour, or maybe a trial colour. First one I've ever seen in it and I can't find 1F066-D listed anywhere. Holden had a 1F078-D Vermillion from the early eighties though.

They're listed already, but they have the wrong codes for the LE's at the top of that wiki list. A9Q was the LE code. State or engine didn't make a difference to the code.
