I bought a 51 reg Vectra estate a couple of weeks back and thought I should do something about a few scratches. But I can't figure out what text on the VIN plates is the colour code? The car is kind of blue/green (hard to tell:-)

Here is a link to photos of the VIN plates in the drivers door and under the bonnet:

Thanks! I promise both pictures are from the same car, but were made with my phone, so the colours could be a bit off...

Now I've no excuse whatsoever not to fix those scratches;)
