Has a 224 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On the manufacturer’s plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a front strut top. It’s printed with the trim code as COLOR/TRIM (C/TR): in 040/FB20 the paint code is 040. If it says 224, the car left the factory in Inazuma Sparkling Black Glass Flake.
  2. Check the V5C. For Inazuma Sparkling Black Glass Flake it should say BLACK. 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 black 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. Inazuma Sparkling Black Glass Flake has a glass flake finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
