Quick colour question

[JCB123]

Hi - just looking at a spoiler for my 9-3 Cab off ebay which is pre-coloured....where is the plate confirming what colour my car is exactly?

It's a bluey/purpley/black colour?!?!?!? As below....



Thanks - JCB

It's probably on the edge of the door. See the diagram here:

It sounds like Aubergine. This site has a range of Saab colour charts but I couldn't see one that matched yours exactly. Aubergine doesn't seem to be on the 93 list, but it depends what year your car is. UK Saabs is the best site for all Saab related queries.

It looks like a very nice car. I hope you are enjoying it in this weather.

Not sure on a 9-3 cag tbh, likely on the inside of one of the door shuts, or inside door edges, or under the bonnet somewhere. On saloons/estates it's usually on the rear off side door shut.
However, depending on what year the car is, which you haven't said, your car looks like it could be Expresso Black to me.

You could also phone a dealer and quote the reg no

Woohoo - found it.....not on the door, nor the door sill, not in the engine bay.......and the answer is....glove box?!

Enjoy it whatever the weather.....love the car, its everything I want and need, didn't like the Audi A4 Cab and I wouldn't buy a BMW! Got a decent colour combo I thought, with cream and blue/black interior.

Lowered it and darkened the lights, now - just a spoiler.....
