Alain -

Check the sales code sticker (if it's still there) and then look at this
list I've gleaned from the parts microfilm.

Dove Grey Metallic - Paint #H5U, Sales Code X2

Flash Silver Metallic - Paint #P7Y, Sales Code X9

Tungsten Grey Metallic - Paint #H7V, Sales Code 9731

Vesuvius Grey Metallic - Paint #B7Y, Sales Codes 4045 or 9037

The reason for mentioning Grey is because a lot of metallic greys look
almost silver-like in color.

Looking at the parts film for poptops, they only list Pastel White tops
were sold as replacements, so no help there either. (Film says "paint to
match" - woulda been nice to list the color codes there).

It's a little too wet outside for me to check underneath for an air
intake, but it's my opinion that the rear heater recirculates the
interior air. (Chris or Derek - correct me if I'm wrong please).  You
have to manually turn it on because VW in it's infinite wisdom (or lack
thereof) didn't bother to install at least a cable device to do this
(woulda been a lot easier on the driver).

The vents above sliding door are for fresh air ventilation (the lowest
control on the dash ventilation/heater panel turns them on or off).
Sorry, no A/C or heat from these!
