Does anyone know what the paint code is for the bottom lip on the grill of a series 3 GT? The same metallic grey colour is on the fog light surrounds and the rims.

Isn't the code in the engine bay under "TRIMS" on the plate?

The paint used on the lower edge of the radiator is called "Platinum" and has the MMAL paint code "EH"

Thanks very much for that garage-tuner, i tried the trim code and it ended up being for the interior trim.

Got some EH made up, not even close, was way to light. Bummer ,EH is a light silver, the actual colour is like a gun metal grey.

Try to get a matching colour in a spray can (Holts, Duplicolour). Most car parts places have racks of them, can lids give you a good idea of the colour. Don't just look for Mitsu labels.

Why don't you get someone to match the grey in side the head lights (if you have the VRX/GT lights)

Thread is a little old but for anyone wishing to match the paint on a 2007 Series 3 Vrx lower grill or rear bumper insert the correct paint code is CAH18009.

Repainted lower Grill today. perfect match!
