Hi everyone,
I’ve recently taken into restoring a Black mk1 Leon 1.8t auq that I bought off of a friend. They are quite rare in Ireland and I’ve put cupra r bumpers on it etc as it’s the look I like. I’ve bought a set of 18 inch alloys, and since they are also hard come by the only ones I could get are in an awful red colour. I’m going getting them powder coated but I’ve struggled to find any paint name or paint code for the original silvery grey colour of the alloys. Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
(Picture attached is the colour in question)
 
Hi BK, when i was trying to find the colour code for my alloys i called a Dealer and they were able to give me the correct paint code for the alloys (even though car is 18yrs old), from my registration number. This was in the UK but i would imagine that its the same in Ireland.
