I solved my curbing by selling the car  :wink:

Titan Grey is hopeless, dont waste your money its far too dark.

As I posted in an older thread, Halfords Silver Wheel paint is ok for touchups and was a closer match than Titan Grey ever was.

Yes correct VW Titan Grey, confirmed by a very good friend, VAG employee for 20 years expert ETKA user - VW Titan Grey,

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.


if you go to your main dealer Pescara's are actually called Rockingham.

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

I bought both Titan Grey touch up sticks from VW and neither were a close enough match for my liking. In the end I managed to find a body shop that had some of the paint in stock. Managed to presuade them to give me a small sample. :smiley: They paint itself as far as I can remember comes in either 500ml or 1L tins!  :sick:
Bye Bye Edition 30

I now see they changed the name in ETKA - upto and including 2007, they called that part number 'BBS-Design', and from 2008 on, changed it to 'Rockingham' - and as Hurdy pointed out, it is actually ET51.  :wink:

See my post here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=109161.0

they took a colour match from the wheel that was sent to them, and it is spot on
