Default What colour are my seats

Hi all.

I have a standard quartz grey SE D3, with what I thought were Black N5D Valcona leather seats. I ask because I wanted to dye the driver's bolster, which is showing minor wear. (I did this on an old e46 I had, and the results were really good).

Anyway I ordered some dye and the match is poor. The seller has kindly refunded me, but from the photo I provided (attached here) suggested my seats may not be black....

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

TIA

John

In another thread I remember there being a link that assists in decoding the build sticker in the boot. I'll have a look for it.

Cheers mate. I have used an online decoder, but it just gives the details I posted above. Not colour....

There's a colour code in there as well. See: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=37

I thought there was too. But when decoded it didn't translate to a colour. I'll try again. Ta

Post the code here, or better a picture of that section.
There's a whole section somewhere here to decode the trim codes, at least for D2.....

Well NY7G is indeed Quartz Grey and N5D is Valcona leather but I don't know what colour code NK is, hopefully someone else will.

Cheers mate.

I'm googling now, but cannot find any other info than what you've just said.
