My sister has a 2000 model Ford Fiesta, its metalic black in colour, does anyone know the exact colour as per Fords description? ive heard it may be "panther black" can anyone confirm this is the only metalic black Ford do?
Ide ask her myself but im planning on buying her a rear spoiler for it for her birthday but dont really want to have to spoil the surprise by asking her the correct colour code/name.
any help appreciated thanks
Subtly pop round to see her and ask her when she last checked the oil. If it hasn't been a while insist she lets you do a quick check of oil and other fluids as she should be checking them more often. Then have a peek at the VIN plate, which should have the colour code on it (or just make a note of the whole vin no if not, they'll be able to deduce it from there).

shes 18 years old, just got her license and car, trying to track her downs impossible,lol, i know what you mean though, as a last resort i'll use that cheers
Do you know the registration number? If so, your local Ford dealer might be able to look up the precise colour/colour code using that.

Yes it is Panther Black. It was the only black metallic they produced at that time. The metallic flecking is quite noticeable in this colour.
Panther black is the colour. fords website has a facility to book a service on it, if you enter the details it comes up with lots of useful info. that might help.

just need a reg number and they will find it on microcat just say you need a touch up pen or something ortherwise they have been known to charge for this sort of silliness (or the other good one is "bring the car in so we can have a look at it to see what colour it is" when i had a prang in the saph to which i replied "it's got a bent rear wishbone so it's not going anywhere, i just want to know what colour the paint is rather than say "it's White!!!!" ')
Hello,
It will be panther black on the fiesta as that is the only shade of black they do on that model you mentioned.

"Panther Black" was introduced in 1997 and there are over a hundred varients of it.
Also there's
Ash black Magic black Space black Eclipse black Ebony black to name just a few metallic colours. Steve.
