not sure on the paint. but as for the heated mirrors, make sure the Adjustor switch is in the middle (this turns the heated mirrors on) the little joystick kind of this where you adjust your mirrors. as if you were going to swap sides just leave the switch in the middle.

no heated mirrors on mk4's any more, think they went off the spec list in 2004 along with some other stuff

I think muddyboots knows more about all this than most :)

it will have heated mirrors if it has the heated mirror sign on the mirror adjust pad (it will be in the centre)

I think it might just be trial and error to get the paint to match - unless Seat do a touch-up, which I very much doubt.

As for the heated mirrors, according to the 12/06 brochure I have, it's only fitted to the FR as part of the Luxury Pack (with the folding mirrors), or Convenience Pack on FR and Cupra. Not fitted to any model as standard (not in this brochure anyway).
