Forum rules
Not many rules really, this board being aimed at technical issues, it shouldn't fall foul (hopefully) of some of the more personal issues that can affect forums.

Rule 1 - Is that you need to think very carefully before posting anything technical or asking anything technical relating to the security system of the car - See 'Security Issues' sticky for more info.

Rule 2 - We (MGF Register) do not support copyright infringement and therefore references to CD ROM, PDF versions or paper copies of the workshop manual (for instance) should not be posted on the forum. We don't want to get into trouble and we'd rather sell you a genuine hard copy through our Regalia shop anyway! :)

Because advice is honestly and freely given in this technical section, much of it will be amateur experienced based, so any information is given in good faith and is not guaranteed as correct.

Calling all Firefrost owners

Post by nigelandjo » Sat Feb 11, 2017 8:33 pm

I need your help in confirming a possible anomaly in the factory data. Could you please check the paint code on your VIN plate (it will either be CEF or CEV) and either PM or email me at registrar@mgfregister.org with the paint code and the last 6 digits of the VIN.

Many thanks,

Nigel

Two responses is not conclusive, but looks like it could be CEV.

There must be some more Firefrost owners out there...
