I have seen 'Mirage' used but can't find it listed anywhere.
Leading evidence: 'Use but can't find it listed anywhere' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use but can't find it listed anywhere' (1 discussions).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Chris,
Not 100% sure what L555/AS is, but AS is typically Arctic Silver. The Mirage color that you are referring to is probably Meridian Metallic. Do a search for a thread on that color to find some pix. Its somewhere between Silver and Seal Grey...I love it...my c4 cab is Meridian Metallic.
Thanks -
Actually tried to upload a pic of the car - as soon as I become a "member" I guess I can - meanwhile you can view the car at;

Yup - sure enough; Did a search on rennlist and Meridian Metallic is the color - thanks!
Strange thing - The color code on the hood (and in the owners maintenance manual) is L555 - this comes up no where on line.

any time you want to look up an option code:

Here are some pics.

You can see in this pic just how gold the paint is.

Persoanlly, I prefer Meridian.
It's Mirage. Meridian was not an option on '99s.
And if you need to see colors up close and personal, order some plugs. Got 'em in every factory color.
Email me with any questions.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
Here are actual pics of my car...
Nice of Porsche to make the colors Mirage and Meridian so close in color.
It'd be interesting to get them side by side to see the real difference.

Ah...Loren is correct -
I did some digging - the following sites list L555 as Paladio Metallic or Platinum Metallic;
<a href="http://www.autocolorlibrary.com" target="_blank">www.autocolorlibrary.com</a>
<a href="http://www.autovisuals.com" target="_blank">www.autovisuals.com</a>
<a href="http://www.martinsenour-autopaint.com" target="_blank">www.martinsenour-autopaint.com</a>
Why am I being so **** about this? I've ordered a nifty little wing from spoilerdepot.com and they don't list the L555 color on their site. I'd like to make sure that they can paint it with the right color before they send it off...
