Thanks Wildon. All information given by you is fine.

just that the car colour (exterior) is supposed to be white and there is no colour called GT in the Hyundai Santro pallete. Is this possible?

The color described for this particular vehicle is as GT= Gold Topaz. What the color of your vehicle?

Dear Wildon

Look for the the 10th Digit of the i20 VIN. The above picture shows 10th digit as 8.

8= 2008
9= 2009
A= 2010
