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,

Mike P.

Hi Mike
Download the BX Parts Manual - http://www.bx16valve.co.uk/19.html
and part one has the paint codes which may help.

Paint code (if still relevent) is: FVY according to this

Nearer the bottom.

Standard GTi wheels are EVE (gris pearl)

So, going by that it is EVE for a Phase 1, and FVY for a P2
