    It may be on the build sheet - I'll have a look at the 7 I have collected.

    Item 51 on the build sheet will have the main colour of the bumper.

    Most VN Calais' bottoms are painted either Azure Silver or Asteroid Silver.

    Just cant find the colour charts for the VN posted some time ago. Looked high and low. I know as I printed it off at some point and put it into the info folder.

    That had all the colour choices for the Calais, Berlina & Executive.

    I'll keep looking.

    I showed you the build plates code so you can see if it matches your build plate.
