Paint code LA7T?? United grey or?
« on: September 04, 2015, 03:04:43 pm »
I have got my paint code of my car today..LA7T -its saying its united grey....i always thought it was steel grey...owell.
Does anybody know where i can get this mixed up fairly cheap? halfords are wanting £16plus.. for a 400ml can i think.

Also i purchased a stainless steel induction pipe of my mate who works for walkers trucks in tuxford..they race there vw in the championship..
because this is full stainless steel its obviously a lot louder and the sucking in noise comes on with the slightest but of throttle,ive currently borrowed a cheap airfilter to put on the end, but im wanting a ram air one..well to be honest what other options are they?

I only need the filter and the heat surround? and cant find just these...i think i measure the end of the pipe being 70mm

cheers

They are the same - I think it's called United Grey in Europe and Steel Grey in US. I could be talking complete bollocks though...
