Leon FR MK2 18" Alloy Wheel Colour

[_Hellfire_]

Hi you guys (and gals where applicable),

Has anyone discovered yet what is a decent colour match for these darker than usual wheels.

I had half a wall brick bouncing down the motorway hit my rear nearside wheel, chipping it quite badly on the lip.

I would prefer to have a go a this minor repair rather than let some unknown franchised guy lose on my P&J. If someone can recommend someone they know to be good in the Rotherham area they could recommend?

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

I had two of my wheels refurbed by the Seat dealer and a good job was done. They got someone in to do it but I felt I had more protection by going to the dealer.

Pleased with the result.

I had the local chipsaway chap out to sort mine, a perfect match, I'm sorry to say I need him out agin now

I've got my first service within a couple of weeks... I've already alerted the Stealer - see how much it costs. Thanks for the advice but keep it coming please....

I got these people to do one of the wheels on my Cupra.

It wasn't cheap but the job is spot on. Colour matching wasn't a problem.

Dealer charged me £70 per wheel, expensive but it was convenient and I felt I had piece of mind.

I kerbed the wheels on my previous car (Ibiza Cupra) and found that the following paint matches the cupra wheels quite well.

Manufacture name: RENAULT
Colour name: GRIS BRANCARD EFFECT
Manufacture colour code: 205171 AVANTIME

I operate a ChipsAway mobile workshop, so I know what to look for in terms of colour match. I havn't kerbed the wheels on my current car yet(and don't wish to), but if they do get kerbed, that'll be the paint I'll be using.

The Leon FR/Cupra wheels are v.similar colour to Ibiza Cupra wheels so this should blend in quite well

Regards
Matt

I took my car for it's service to Ted Johnson in Barnsley as it was recommended by the Forum - they failed to put on Mud Flaps or repair the Wheel stating that they could not colour match

I guess I will contact the local Chips Away guy and test his response - obviously stating that I will be posting the results on here.... so depending upon the result will either generate more business or less (it it's CR4P!) ATEOTD it's a company car but I like my cars to be almost perfect!!!

I'll keep you posted....
