Is there a paint code for the B7 RS4 silver wing mirror?

Post by matthew.lewis2 » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:36 am

I recently bought an almost new RS4 in Abu Dhabi. One of the wing mirrors had scratches on it and the dealer has resprayed the mirror in gloss silver.

Does anyone know the paint code for the matt silver used on the B7 RS4 mirrors?

When you order a new mirror cap the colour code is 1L1 - don't know if that helps?

Aren't these proper aluminium like the B5 and other S/RS models?

IIRC they are not that expensive to buy from Audi and come pre-painted in the standard matt silver.
