General Fiat 500 'by Diesel' 1.4 automatic

[Neil Foster]

We have a Fiat 500 ;by Diesel' 1.4 automatic. Be grateful if any body can help with following:
1. Colour 370A metallic olive green; Fiat UK say no longer available. Please advise if you know of a supplier.
2. What is the colour reference for the matt silver grey plastic body trim? Again, please advise a supplier.
3. The tailgate light nor 'tailgate open' warning does not come on dashboard warning system. There is a live feed to the light so presume switch is via 'earth' and tailgate lock. Any ideas on how this can be rectified?
4. Is there a pollen filter next to heater matrix? Please advise where located.
Regards, Neil Foster

When it comes to Paint and paint codes including trim it's far better to go to a specialist in car repair supplies, these places supply the body shops and vehicle refinishers

Take them your paint code and they will mix you the paint usually there and then, just as B&Q would mix you a pot of Matt emulsion while you wait.

To be able to do this they have vast books produced by the paint manufacturers which tell them the exact recipe of colours to use to match the original colours, this also applies to trim pieced and interior plastics.

They can even colour match leather seats for special leather paints.

Have a look in the yellow pages or Google 'auto paints' in your area.
