okay so my car was hit a couple weeks ago and it is getting fixed but I need to figure out a couple things. So if you owned the "whore" before me or know about it do you know where you got the headlights, the badgless grill and the paint code?
thanks

I believe that the headlights were aftermarket hella brand. You should be able to get any kind OEM or aftermarket you just need to rewire maybe.
Paint code will be hard to get the guy that originaly had it on here might know it. mk1mr2 is his username i believe.

They were mk4 look headlights. Dan used to own it, I think? :poke:
the paint code is supposed to be on a sticker on the fuel pump cover

Whoever installed the lights originally did a terrible fucking job and the wiring is hacked to fuck. You should really pick up the european pigtails to make it work correctly

JOM Grille if I remember correctly, However, the FK one looks identical

Dont know what the fuck the paint code is. As I've said before, take it to a reputable body shop and they'll tell you exactly what it is as they will have a tool that will shine a light on the paint and read the hues

Car has been resprayed a custom pearl white with light blue flake. Car OEM color was Black. I tried to trackdown the aftermarket paint code as well. Talked to Shae (Guy who had it painted) and found that the trail to finding the code just kinda drifts off into the blue. It's a lost cause trying to find the code, just take it to a shop
