I have read the forum posts on colour codes but cannot decipher the numbers on the rad plate
4B 9181413
123033 22 00904 9
861H MO
480 542 596 599 625
410 420 480 466
The car is a 1979 280E imported into Australia from Germany .I need to replace some trim round the edge of the doors but cant get a handle on the colour!
Any advice would be welcome
We never put the interior trim code on the data plate. If you give me your VIN, I can try to get the trim code.
123.033-22-009049?
We're not used to seeing the 22, but that's RHD/Automatic trans
Thanks for the help,
VIN code is 12303322061886
Try to find a paper data-card under the rear seat backrest/bench.
Thanks to all for your help,
Tom Hanson has been able to get a copy of the data card from Germany for me.

Good morning Tony...
I'm not the best source for deciphering the number plate on your radiator core support, but World Upholstery offers some pages on their website that might be of help.
Hopefully this should get you headed in the right direction - http://worlduph.com/samples/vinylmbzmid.htm
