209 LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (25%) although it sounds like it was sorta a "delete option"
337 M SPORTS PACKAGE
481 SPORT SEATS F DRIVER/FRONT PASSENGER
704 M SPORT SUSPENSION
401 SLIDING/VENT ROOF, ELECTRIC - A take it, cause its good for you option
676 HIFI LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM - the only real option

Is that a good summary, or am I up past my bedtime? Does your build info call out the CS Option code, or are you relying on some/all of the above?

Hi Jay , i can´t confirm 100% fella, but i would say that you´re on the money there yes

It's no problem. Even more reason to keep my car. It needs a good amount of work. :/ but it'll be worth it in the end. The main thing is getting my strut towers replaced, new suspension, some body work and a paint job.

[Mallard]

whoa , that sounds like a propper redux man

but congrats on the 200 posts

[Breticus]

Thank you.

Hi Mallard,

Can you check KV60128 for me please. I am supposed to be picking this up later on today.

Thanks,

[cmoore]

a junkyard a few hours away has a ti and doesn't know which color blue it is; they sent the VIN #. (i am hoping it is Montreal Blue, but nothing in the VIN compared to mine seems to make me understand if the color code is in the VIN anywhere somewhere/how.)

Anyway KC81135

don't really care about the full decode if it takes longer, just hoping for the color code. Thanks in advance.
