Default AU Whites

I need to get hunt down some body parts (boot lid, bumper) from the wreckers. It would be useful if I could get them in the right colour. I seem to remember reading somewhere that AUs came out with more than one shade of white.

My car is A1 Winter White.

What other whites did the AU come in, and what would be the best way to describe them over the 'phone. Is Winter White the "whitest white"?

tindge of yellow cream in it ... when washed (which rarely happens) it still looks like it has a fine layer of dust on it

Just found some samples here:

Winter white and dynamic white look pretty close. Bugger. Looks like I'll have to drive out to the wreckers and physically hold the panels against the car to check the colour. I was hoping I could order them by phone.

Were there any other whites?

Dynamic White stopped on EL's, it was never on AU's. There is only one white on AU's and it was Winter White.

correct, colour code H (dynamic white) was carried over from the el series in the S1s. i think they stopped mid 99s and user winter white from then on (dont quote me)

Thanks for that. I guess I have a better than 75% chance of a white panel being winter white...
