Models that came in White

Listed for these models in Japanese catalogue colour listings. Not every colour was offered for every year or trim.

Other Daihatsu models outside our model library used 056 too.

Has a 056 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On the caution plate, whose position varies by model: look in the engine bay first, then the door pillars. Some Daihatsus share Toyota’s codes. If it says 056, the car left the factory in White.
  2. Check the V5C. For White it should say WHITE or CREAM. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
  3. Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as white and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
  4. Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.

Questions

What colour is Daihatsu paint code 056?

056 is White (ホワイト), a white paint.

What colour should the V5C say for a car in 056?

The DVLA records a basic colour, not the paint name, so a car still in its factory White should be registered as WHITE or CREAM. Anything else suggests it has been painted a new colour, and the keeper should have told the DVLA.

Which models came in White?

Japanese catalogue colour listings include it for the Daihatsu Copen (L880K). Other Daihatsu models outside our model library used it too.
