Hi Ray,
It's between the headlight and the air filter housing. Take a look at this.

We may have a match with Silver Moss, which is paint code ERZ.
Another Silver Moss XM

Yes, spot on, I was right then. What a guess!

Well done Will for finding that pic. Is that an X rally?
A rare colour indeed and I have never seen a mk2 in it. Its a nice colour, I like it very much.

It is indeed ERZ with 2 other digits, presume it means saloon? Well done for correctly guessing!
Whilst digging around for the paint code I also found this....

Thanks! I'd still like to see a pic so I can see what it's supposed to look like under the bonnet!

Oh dear Ray. That's a bit serious.
Here is the photo of my paintcode. I will get a better pic of the entire wheel arch area for you.
