Pescara's damaged (Dooooooooo)

[Hector]

Kerbed both front wheels last week (previous 23 months of ownership without a scratch).
Silly really - mounted a kerb in the dark looking the wrong way at something very nice

Realise this is an old subject but did we ever get the exact paint code for repairing Pescara's on the ED30 ??

Otherwise  - anyone selling two new wheels     

Eyes front from now on

This is still subject to conjecture, but the nearest so far is VW Titan Grey Metallic. With variations in colour from batch to batch you still may not get a spot on match though!

I also want to know if anyone has had just one alloy matched to the others as most refurbishment places recommend all 4 doing.

The colour is Titan Grey I think??

Probably be cheaper to have all four refurbished than buying 2 new wheels.

Vw quoted someone on another forum around £350....per alloy!!

That is going on for £700 for two alloys, so a refurb and full paint of 4 wheels would be less than that!

Yes correct VW Titan Grey, confirmed by a very good friend, VAG employee for 20 years expert ETKA user - VW Titan Grey, if you go to your main dealer Pescara's are actually called Rockingham and they are not cheap.  If you are as OCD as I am, on the inside of the wheel it is stamped BBS CH

And I too confirmed that ages ago.  However, there is TWO different part numbers for Titan Grey - and users here found that neither was a match.

Are you sure?  I thought the Pescaras are just listed as 'BBS-Design', and I thought that Rockinghams were the black Monza 2s?

Thanks for the advice Guy's - I will try the VW Titan Grey first (will try it on something other than the wheel first to see how close it is).

I will let you know how it looks

Remember the paint colour changes slightly with the laquer top coat, so give it a go with top coat on a sample piece of material too
