Will be using standard silver, but have read somewhere the original colour is more light grey rather than silver. But I am not to keen on the original colour. Here is a pic of an original '89 SE teardrop whee...

Re: Mk1b alloy wheel for paint match

The main wheel is a standard silver and the tear drops were gun metal grey Now I don't remember the codes off the top of my head. But even if it's not exactly as it left the factory I doubt anyone will notice the difference I know I am being fussy but I want to get it back to completely standard an...

Mk1b alloy wheel for paint match

All but given up on getting paint code or finding a set of mint OE mk 1b alloys. So I thought if that If I could find someone with an original colour spare in the north west or North Wales area I could do a colour match.

Don't suppose there is anyone who could help me is there?

Re: MRK1b almost back on the road

It took me and my son 3 hours to do the job and that included nipping down to S-Bits for anothe...
