Title: Pescara colours
Post by: chipmunk82 on June 18, 2014, 06:36:46 pm

I know there are plenty of wheel colour threads but I couldn't find one specific to pics of just pescaras (forgive me if I'm wrong)
Just wondered what people have gone for when refurbing theirs?
Mine are currently standard colour on a Tornado Red ED30
I was thinking about a slightly lighter shade of silver although nothing that looks too chrome but interested to know what others have done  :happy2:

Anthracite get done a lot, looks good as does black.

I posted this the other day on the subject......

"The Pescara's are a pain to get the right colour, sorry, I mean impossible.  :grin:

No point getting them done in their OEM colour as NO ONE knows what it is and I'd be VERY sceptical if your chap doing the refurb knows as VW wouldn't tell me. Peeps have tried VW Titan Grey Metallic, supposed to be the closest but IIRC may be too dark.

OEM.....

Anywho, here's one I found on the interweb a couple of years back, no idea if they are the genuine colour but........"

I like Hyper Silver, my BBS VZ's (same as the Pescara's). Old pic but you get the idea.......

Yes! Hyper silver is the sort of colour I was thinking! Looks great
A thought did cross my mind about white on tornado red, anyone good at photoshop?!
Other colours invited  :smiley:

Nice, works well with the black badge and splitter
