as above ?

i think vw repaired my wheel instead of replacing, the colours dont match from what i see right now... and im thinking if the paint is thicker over this "new" wheel then the other 3, then its been repaired and im gonna have a big ass go!

If they dont match then i would say they have replaced the wheel, there are different batches of paint, I would be worried if it matched to be honest.  :wink:

It shouldn't but production is over a few years, now that would be one big fook off paint mixer.  :laugh:
obviously they try and match as best they can but in reality there will be slight difference's
I found out recently there is 3 candy white codes all a slightly different shade.  :smiley:
