Where are the paint codes?

[Penst8grad]

My daughter wrecked my bride's 2015 Passat on Tuesday. Tore the front off backing out of the garage. Looks terrible, but in reality only 2 parts were destroyed, upper grilled and bumper cover. Junkyard grille is on the way. A local yard has a 2014 Passat bumper cover listed. They were nice enough to send me a picture but it doesn't look the same. It may be a 2016+ one. The color is different too. That one is more electric blue and ours is dark midnight blue.

I was looking for the paint code on her car but can't find it. No trunklid, or left trunk wall. Any other suggestions to find it?

For me, it was in the spare tire well, a sticker up against the back wall towards the bumper.

FWIW, 2016+ Passat bumper will look totally different and will not work with a 2015 unless you change the headlights, grille, bumper and fenders.

Here's a link where you can see a side by side of the body differences between the 2015 and 2016+ Passats:
