Default Is It Real Gold?

Hi all, I'm picking up my 75 tomorrow, the ebay listing says 'Gold' . It's a 54 plate, the listing has gone now but pics were not definitive anyway. So what have I bought? White Gold or Platinum Gold?

You need to put 9 carrots in the boot and have it hallmarked to say that it is proper gold! Mine is silver!

Dunno, wasn't on the listing, didn't some codes get removed during the facelift?

You'll have to check when you get it then, something to look forward to

Send us a link and we’ll tell you! I had MCN, it’s like a very very silvery green. Or silver with a very small hint of green. A bit subjective but look at the build sticker (nsf A-post?)
Have you got the listing number?

Seller removed the listing when I said I'd buy it. Just wondered if some golds were removed with the introduction of the facelift. Off to get it tomorrow so not long to wait.

MCN does say gold on the V5. Mine was an 05. Hope it turns out ok!
