Back the passenger strut under the bonnet is usually where the code is located |

I don't have access to the car mate. Basically its in a scrappers and I've bought the bonnet off it,I can't decide if its the right colour though,in some lights it looks perfect and in some lights in looks sigma,I don't have time to polish it up right now to find out sadly. |

if it's sigma it'll most likely be a phase1 bonnet and you'll know a mile off cos of the bonnet shape. barely any p2/p3 sigma's, i would imagine single digits. i know of one though, imported from somewherep2 china blue is a different blue to p3 china blue though. learned this when rebuilding my china 6 after a front end writeoff my guess is you've got a p2 one... ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

That doesn't look a bad match, I find China with a good clay then DA or mop to be a very good color for panels matching providing it's all original paint________________________________________ Ryan |

I'm hoping they'll match after some work I just didn't want to do it if the bonnet was a completely different color. |

Try polishing the wings up, or maybe the car it came off had some paint work done on the front, it's only just out by look of it, is it worse in the flesh?________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

china is a nightmare because it's pearlescent. firstly i stuck a china bonnet on, but turns out it was off a phase2, so colour was out. then i had my wing sprayed in china, with a good known p3 original china bonnet, and i could tell the difference. i ended up buying a second hand wing, which had never had paint, off allanallen on here. was fine after that________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

In theory should a Y reg car be a phase 3? I'll call the dealership now and see if they can get me a paint code from the reg,were the Phase 2 and 3 china paint codes different or did they decide to be little french tosspots about it and keep them the same. |

Whites/silvers/and pearl colours can be a right pain to match. On smaller jobs it's sometimes just easier to blend into the next panel. I'm sure you new this already, though, just for the masses. ________________________________________ For we are many.PS£ ID: Monkey369 |

Never ever seen a china phase 2 if I'm honest. Nor even heard of one. The common phase 2 blue was Nile as far as I know. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I wonder if MOGE and EGED are one and the same or not. I suspect not and I will be selling this bonnet on. |

That would be such a huge help mate.I've found an EGED bonnet but its over an hour away and its not cheap,it'll cost me £50 by the time i've been and got it so if this one is right I'll be a very happy choppy. |
