Body Code For MCS

I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Does anyone know the body code for an 03 MCS. I went and looked out in my door jam, but it seems that when my car was in an accident they replaced the whole panel and didnt put the stickers back on? Or if anyone can point me somewhere else to look.

Reason asking is im out on germanplates.com trying to think of a plate for the front of my car and just tossing around ideas.

Thanks
Matt
