Title: Pirelli GTI Wheel paint code
Post by: flashp on May 06, 2012, 01:44:39 pm

Hi all, new owner (not got round to intro yet!) here and I need some info regarding the wheels on these models. Does anyone know the paint colour code for them? I'd like to get them tidied up and would prefer original colour but powder coated.

Any info/thoughts appreciated.

BTW - great car! Got a 3 door with DSG and RNS510. Revo stage 1 with SPS.  :grin:

Can't help with the colour unfortunately.

Sounds a top spec car, get some pictures up!

Yes, mst get some pictures sorted out. Better weather coming this weekend so maybe then.

I spoke to VW and they confirmed that whilst they don't have a specific colour code for the wheels the colour is in fact called 'Titan Grey'. Think I'll just go for the closest match by The Wheel Specialist and be happy that it's a better than original finish. Apparently they can use colour titles to help narrow down the colour choice. Would have fancied going a few shades darker but not sure if I'd spoil the originality of the car...what do you think?

Personally I'd keep them as close to standard as possible.
Main reason being should you ever sell it should be easier to sell.

A lot of people don't like modded cars or colour changes to wheels.

I've got my standard wheels in the loft at the minute and running some team dynamics pro race.
