Newbie - What colour is my car?!

[W8PMC]

Its noggy

Also you can now assign the plate online and its instant I.e you can swap plates there and then.

Isn't that just with newly acquired plates DK?

I bought 3 reg's from DVLA a few months back & all of those are registered on their online system so i assume can also be managed/transferred etc. online, however my existing Reg of W8 PMC can't be added to that mix, although i believe DVLA stated older reg's will be able to be added in the future.

Any reg

It clearly launched on a beta platform but is fully live now

Got all excited then so rung DVLA, but alas it isn't that straight forward.

The online system is ONLY for new registrations that haven't yet been assigned to a vehicle. Once they've been assigned to a vehicle they can only be managed in the traditional way. If they've never been assigned as are either brand new or have always been on retention then they can be managed online.

You trust them?! Haha. Look out for LZ5F on the build sticker.

[MikeFish]

I thought it looked too dark for Sprint. And I wouldn't take dealers word for it either.

[Eddie555]

It's also on a Sticker inside this book. As mine is Daytona and paint code is LZ7S. Fool proof.

Love Sprint Blue. Bet it looks awesome in the flesh. I had a B7 RS4 in Sprint.

Just spotted in your car history you had an F10 M5 that didn't work out for you? What went wrong with it? I had a MY14 that I ended up rejecting after 4 months. BMW replaced it but the replacement was a MY15 & so far it's been faultless for the year I've had it & having mucho fun.

[Kevvo2506]

Hmmm

Ok maybe I better check the colour Sticker lol. Actually, looking at that Sticker, where your one has the paint code mine just has --/-- maybe it's all a figment of my imagination and it's just in primer?! Lol

Re the M5, mine was a 14my too and I rejected mine too. Constantly telling me there was a drive train fault I seem to recall. Was a nightmare. BMW had it in for 2 weeks to fix it (for about the 5th time) and it literally broke down again driving home. I had already gone nuts at them before picking it up, so that was final straw and I set my PA on them!

Shame, when it worked was a hoot to drive and devil quick. I had a 14my e63 amg after that when they just released to twin turbo one. Interior was pretty boring and it had too much power for the car. Think I sold that one with 700 miles on the clock. (Mind you, sold my carrera s with 360 miles on it, just didn't get on with it!)

[MikeFish]

Check it now kevvo, the suspense is killing me!!

[Kevvo2506]

See what I mean

[Kevvo2506]

See what I mean?

[Kevvo2506]

Meant to ask. Where is the boot Sticker as I couldn't see one where I expected to find the spare wheel. Is it lurking in some non obvious place as the service book Sticker is clearly no bloody use!

Can someone take a pic of location?

[10biscuits]

a lighthearted string of comments,love it.agreed Kevvo looks too dark for sprint blue, I have a C7 SB,might be the photos of course,isn't it on the sales invoice,mine was,but knew mine was SB cos I ordered it as such.On the colour,I also had a B7 in SB, the attention it got in this country was embarrassing and seemed to last for about 4 years isn,had the car for 8 years.However I go to France a lot and the attention the B7 got lasted all the time I had the car.A French girl, not long before the B7 went said she adored the car. I explained that I didn't understand why in France people still paid so much attention and she replied in her beautiful lilting tones --the colour-so there you go SB is THE colour, and it's carrying through with the C7 both here and abroad. Love your car Kevvo but I would say that wouldn't I ,especially if it is SB.

[MikeFish]

Bizarre.

I can't help with the boot location as I don't have a C7, but I'd assume it says the same as the Sticker in the book.
