[928uk] Decoding the VIN

[John Speake]

RE: [928uk] Re:LSDs

  Oh dear, it's just getting more complicated.  I've just gone back and checked the label in the boot, and got more confused.  I have the chassis number listed as WPO ZZZ 92zFS841731 (good, found the missing WPO ZZZ!)

  But then there are more numbers that mean little to me...

  Above the chassis number I have a line which says "125-3471            EG".  No idea what that is.

  Immediately below the chassis number it says "927   921", which I initially thought were option codes, but which aren't listed on http://www.928.org.uk/options.html

  Then there is: Engine code M2822-82F, Transmission code AZ805-11F.  Do these mean anything or are they just part numbers?
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
  Yes, these all refer to engine options
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  Paint No./Interior L999 UP
  Does this mean my code 539 white gold metallic paint job is a later respray?  What on earth is paint no. L999?  What is the mysterious 'UP'?
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
  L999 usually means a special colour for a customer, not in the standard range for the MY. Quite often these turn out to be a VW/Audi colour
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  Then it says "OPTIONS C16" - again, not listed on the 928.org.uk options list.
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
  That just means UK market car.
  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  Can anyone help decode?
