I have to do the same, as far as I can see it's:-

Unclip arch liner, Unbolt along top of wing (where bonnet shuts), front bumper off, remove bolts that are exposed from behind bumper, open door and remove bolts exposed, remove sill cover and remove bolt exposed.

For earlier models Alex its on a plaque in the engine bay and is as you say 13L etc but on the later models its superceded by Zxxx codes as they started bringing out Star Silver 1/2/3 etc which have the same L code but different Zxxx codes...
