bout to undertake some colour coding on my car and will do a diy guide for the site, but need two questions answerd

1) i bought some white paint renault iceburg white - went to check this was the right colour on my car but couldnt find any indcication on the car of its colour. looked under the bonnet and in the door bit...

2) just consulting the haynes manual to see if its just a pull em off hard jobbie on the side bump strips and i found a bit in the book that im not sure if it means the side strips as it didnt have any pics...it said there were 2 screws on the inside of the door that i have to undo...is this true?

cheers

yes theres a screw to undo on the edge of the door then u slide em back then they pop off!

the colour wont be an exact match coz its like 10 yr old paint!

Renault Glacier white is what u want

Open door, bottom theres a sticker with the VIN etc.. its on there.. (no labeling tho, you just need to look for something which looks like a colour code!).

On mine, Phase3.. (same as Phase2) the side strips just slide off.. but be careful, as the pink clip always breaks apparently!

I just push the strip backwards, and it came off on mine!
