How to Tell Difference b/w Arctic and Polar Silver?

Guys,

Have an '01 C2, did this come in both arctic and polar silver? If so, how can I tell, through VIN, etc?

I'm buying a rear bumper from a fellow 6speeder and hoping the colors match.

Thanks
H

Arctic Silver is more grey, Polar is more blue.

Could have asked me Hamid

Polar Silver has a slight Blue tint to it (almost sky blue). Polar Silver is a Custom option available thru Porsche for around $4K upgrade I believe - color code is under your hood - L92M is Polar Silver Metallic, L92T or U is Arctic Silver Metallic... Many Artic Silver but very few with Polar Silver.
