Paint Code for Phase 1 16V alloys

Post by Mike P »

What is the paint code for Phase 1 Grey wheels :?:

I would describe it as light Dove Grey, is there a RAL or similar code :?:

Thanks,

Hi Mike
Download the BX Parts Manual - http://www.bx16valve.co.uk/19.html

Standard GTi wheels are EVE (gris pearl)
