   Done mine myself, not brilliant as the spoiler was damaged already but that was before I got the car, 6months+ down the road and still hasnt really chip'd anywhere and no sign of flacking - I wouldnt use a jet wash on it though as that could be asking for trouble

   Go to the boot, open it, now you see where the catch is where the lock on the tailgate goes into? Got it.
   
   Directly below that there Should be a small plate with some information on it, dont worry about trying to crick your neck as its mounted upside down so when you looking in it will be the right way up
   
   If its not on there check the drives side door on the inside panel its self where it gives tyre pressures and that
   
   
   **EDIT**
   
   If all else fails go into Halfords and look it up in their colour chart, then compare the paint top to the car
