Hi, its my understanding a plate under the bonnet of most cars, includes a plate with a list of codes, or references, which record things like the engine size, and body colour etc. Does anyone have a list of Audi Codes used for an Audi 80 coupe in the 1990s., please? 

As a start Nick, I would suggest you search EBay for an appropriate sales brochure. This should give you most of the information you want in a non-coded form.

Always worth collecting any period literature on collectors cars. 
Please let us know how you get on.

Regards,

Gareth. 

Gareth, thanks for advice.. Good idea. I asked about codes that may be on an identification plate, just so that if I find one on the car, I can work out what it's trying to inform me.

Correct typo

Thanks Nick, 

Meanwhile, a Google search of available colours will lead you to the colour code on your car. 
Are you saying you can find a ‘Chassis plate’ on your car?

"Built As" labelling used to be in boot - Was in the boot of my A6 C7 Avant. Was not verbose so would need an expert like Audi trained Tech to decipher but would list all items that were originally specified on production line. 

If it is a paint match you are looking for then I would get a decent paint shop to do a paint analysis scan to get the true colour. Age the consideration to get a perfect match unless you are looking for full respray to concourse levels.
