Title: Paint code for Edition 30, BBS Pescara alloys?
Post by: hotrod30 on June 20, 2010, 08:03:41 pm

Hi guys,

Re: Colour code for Edition 30 BBS Pescara alloys

I’ve just scuffed my alloy and I’m pi55ed off!  :sick:

I know this has been asked many times before, but did we ever get a definitive answer on the BBS paint code?

I’ve checked back through the threads and VW Titan Grey Metallic comes close, Wurth paint is mentioned and yesterday my dealer quoted 8Z8.

My local paint shop can mix any colour, if he’s got the code, but he looked at my wheel colour and wasn’t happy about getting an exact match. I believe in Germany there’s a service to get your alloys refurbed by BBS but not in the UK. It seems it’s a closely guarded secret.

I’m based in Bournemouth and have heard good things about Ooops and Alloy Magic Ltd... has anyone used them... good or bad?

Any info would be appreciated.

Regards... Hotrod (Steve)

When I was in B'mouth, the chap at VW Poole said he used to work a Alloy Magic and highly recommended it.

Cheers Stealthwolf,

I’ve heard from VW Breeze in Poole that they have used Alloy Magicwith good results, so fingers crossed.

Cheers Hotrod  :happy2:
