Ok, I am not an idiot and do a lot of work on my car myself which I enjoy. But I have run into a problem and I guess I will call a dealership tomorrow and see if someone can help me. I have a 2011 E350 Coupe. I know where to find the exterior paint code that is easy. But the only interior code I can find is the 230 code which shows Leather nappa. That is it...that doesn't give me any indication of what the COLOR is unless I am missing something here. This is the plate under the hood and the door jam pic. If ANYONE can tell me the actual color of the leather seats I have...I would very much appreciate it. I have some leather cracking and one spot that needs to be fixed and I want to make sure I get the right color for the seats! Thanks everyone!

FYI- My car is a mocha black outside with a mocha/almond inside. Basically beige/tan and mocha interior. But that doesn't give me the exact color of the leather for a perfect match to restore the leather seat areas that need help!

Post your VIN and I'll post your VMI with the right color codes

Texasgirl

It is the one on the pic here, WDDKJ5GB1BF091067 If you can find more from the VIN I would be forever grateful! Not sure why I can't figure this out!

ItalianJoe1

Haha, brain fart on my part there. Of course the VIN is on the sticker...

Attached your VMI. Color codes show 805 interior, 033 paint.

Texasgirl

YOU are so awesome! Thank you so much for the help. I sent the color and information to a company that mixes leather dye and can get me a custom match!

WOW. That report gives everything except your mother's maiden name. Who needs CarFax!

I know RIGHT! But this was just pulled. I bought this for cash in 2015 and surprised that my info is not on it. Guess it is just original owner. I did get some dye from this to redo the seats and I am very thankful. Pain that they make this so difficult. The 8805 is not on my metal plate on the hood.

The top line of numbers on the small plate to the right, has 033 and then 805, so it's there, but I didn't know that.

Thanks Joe. Unlike TexasGirl, I see a lot of my stuff on there. I bought the car 4 years old in 2013, and did a Google search of the prior owner (actually leaseholder) and thought I had found him on a site called "mugshots.com"! The 4 year old car had fewer than 17,000 miles on it so I thought his prison stay explained that! Now I see there was plenty of service and repairs happening during that period so there goes that theory!

Hey Joe, if you're out there and it's not too much trouble can you pull a VMI for this SL I'm considering? WDDJK7DAXDF017701
