Chris, funny you should mention this.  Todd Last just
sent the following info on bumper color codes he
generously shared with me, but he is not 100% sure
about them it seems.  Todd?  His list contains Pewter
Metallic but not Jade Metallic.

________
I ran across an old paper I had saved that had the
following paint codes
for
the bumper:

Graphite (gray)         LT7B
Cloud Gray Metallic    LV7N
Graphite (Gray)        LD 0H7 B04
Ivory                        LR1014
Pewter Metallic        LA7Y
Cloud Gray Metallic    L0V7 No4  (Wolfsburg Edition)

Don't know if any of those are them or not.
If I can I hope to stop by an Auto paint store over the
weekend.
I'll let you know what they say.

Todd
