i dont know what engine it has at all...

it will be either the c25xe or x25xe. Your chassis number and black striped engine cover suggests it is the later x25xe.

Engine spec here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X25XE

Be careful, because I think I'm right in saying that there are at least two very different versions of North Cape...  ???  You need to go by the colour code on your VIN plate and any half-way decent automotive paint merchant -even Halfords - ought to be able to mix it for you.

Halfords had it on the shelf for me, but to be honest the Holts stuff they mix is MUCH better and in a nicer can too.

There are two different shades, which is why my fuel flap is a different colour to the rest :-\

when i went to get paint mixed for my se2 the colour code showed up as pearlecent? i have two plates on car showing same paint code, quite bizzare as its yellow!
The paint shop had to use a paint chart to match the colour

80L is definitely Jet Black, I know as I had an LE.


That code is just "Black", mine has the same code.

There is no JET black on Vauxhalls colour list either,
