l too lean towards a paint code. I have tried to highlight it in my photo - I should have taken a better shot but............

This is probably as helpful as a fart in a spacesuit.

One would hope the exhaust is not connected to the air supply?

Thanks Colin and Robert.

Both responses help . I will take your advice Robert and ask the Jeep folk.

I am glad to see it on another vehicle on top of the same coat of paint as mine.

I will keep you posted on what I find out

P.S like the fart joke ...will use it from now on !!!
