Hi all

LZ3M is the code for Misano. To be 100% sure I t'll be on the car's data Sticker that also has your option codes listed.

Do you know where I can find that ? Just been looking and can't see anything
It was in the boot in my B7, but doesn't seem to be anywhere on my B8

If there is not a Sticker in the boot there should be a data Sticker on the first page of your service booklet.

If not in boot, there will be one in service book as said above. Also found one under the base of back seat in a B8.

As Aled says, if it's not in the boot (normally stuck in the wheel well), then the Sticker is also in the front of your service schedule book. Here's mine which shows LZ3M...

I'm sold on it, works a treat! My cars done 15k now and not one stone chip
Get the same person me and DK used, proper laser cut. None of this cutting with a blade crap!!

Found out the hard way on my b7 had the front end painted twice to keep it spot on.
Trouble is fresh paint chips easier than the factory finish, so a wrap is even more important, if I had just bought a new b8 the first thing on my list would be to get it done ASAP

I've just had my M4 paint protection filmed, full front inc mirrors and lights by http://www.paintguard.co.uk.

Good value and he uses Suntek, which is getting good reviews in the states.
