Hi all. I have parted out my 94 850 Turbo Sportswagon and have 2 questions...

What year(s) other than a 1994 will the power/heated rear-view mirrors fit on?

and

In 1994, what was Volvo's name for the metallic dark-green paint on the 850's?

I am starting to list some parts on eBay and want to tell people the exact color these mirrors are and all year/models they will fit.

I really appreciate your help.

Have a wonderful, safe Independence Day!

Mirrors should be the same for 93-97 at least, and probably the 98 V70 as well. I think the mirrors are the same for the wagon and the sedan. If you look at the mirror, it comes apart, and you can get by with getting JUST the painted part. When I got my car, I took my mirrors apart to paint the black part.

As for colors: try this:

1994 Volvo 850 Colors of Touch Up Paint

Should be in there somewhere.

1994 Volvo 850 Colors of Touch Up Paint

 

The heated mirrors will only work on vehicles with the heated mirrors option. Most vehicles here in Australia didnt have that fitted, and it wasn't available here as an option. The mirror will still fit, and it will power adjust, just not heat.

 

The color code is on the vin plate under the hood.

Awesome! This helps... I appreciate your reply...


Interesting... I don't associate Australia with ice/snow and I guess Volvo didn't either. I thought all models were the same wherever they were sold. I never realized they were different over there (other than (I assume) the steering wheel being on the wrong side )


Thank you Robert!
Found the code which led me to the exact color... Tropical Green Metalic!

Thanks all for the replies!!
