Interior Color Code for 99 996?

[Nflight]

Bought the car used and I want to replace some interior parts. Where can I find the interior color code - it's light to medium gray, but there are lots of different grays out there.

I did the VIN decoder and the options decoders and it doesn't seem tell me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Dear Nflight,

If you do find out where the code is situated could you email me as I have exactly the same problem.

I to have a grey interior but after asking the same question as you and getting no reply I am still not sure of the exact shade and as you quite rightly say, there are a number of different greys used by Porsche. I want to swop my steering wheel but won't until I am sure of the correct colour.

Regards

There is graphite and space. The easiest way to find out your interior color code is to remove an interior piece and read the part number off of it. The end of the part number will end with a letter and a number. That will tell you.

Here is a better way to find out:

If the color code starts with:

C: Graphite Grey

B: Space Grey

There is also "Classic Grey" and "Grey" but they are not on the 996.

Thanks! I must have Space Grey leather/leatherette (B51) with Granite Grey (D05) on the rear console. Scrutinizing the PET showed that only the Space Gray was available for my year on several of the parts, so that must be it. I pulled the rear seat bottom, handbrake trim, trim beside the shifter and the ash tray - but I could not find any of these codes on them, just the part numbers. <_<

Example: Ash Tray 996.552.595

Rear Seat Bottom 996.522.711.00 >PUR<

The handbrake lever and tip shifter are dark and worn down. Leather cleaner just gets down to the bare leather, so I wanted to attempt repainting it, thinking if I ruin it, I'll just break down and buy a replacement. Here's my interior....

Also anyone tried the leather kit on this site? http://www.leatherworldtech.com/AutoColorC...px?make=Porsche

The Granite Grey on the console is scraped and chipped, so I wanted to paint it also.

Thanks to all!
