Someone else posted this a while ago about getting the right colour match so I made a note of it just in case I ever need it !!
Pretoria alloy colour. LZ49 is the code, it's an Audi colour called Steel Dunkel.
Hope this helps. At least the Pretoria is not Diamond cut  :whistle:

That's super mate Thankyou so much, I have been nervous slightly about the colour match so that's a massive help :smiley:

BTW: the BBS have now been provisionally sold :cry: as much as I liked them, I kinda lost the love for them compared to the others, so these will make way for something else.
Didn't really need to sell them but I'm trying to limit myself to 4 sets at a time :wink:

Any suggestions what to try next?? :laugh:

4 sets at a time? I bet your car has more changes of clothes than you do!. :grin:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

What are you like Ian. :rolleyes:  Limit to 4 sets!  :shocked:  I hope your mrs has loads of shoes and handbags to even things out.  :grin:

Seems like 2 sets is all you need:

Inspiris for winter; Prets for summer.  Sorted.  :laugh:

Don't worry Becs, my wife is well sorted, bringing her to Jo Malone today and she has WAY more bags than I have wheels :grin:

I could never sell my original Cadiz, looked at them yesterday and they do look good :shocked:

Actually rather proud of myself for selling the BBS as I never thought I would go through with it :smiley:

Yes Becs, she's looking the new perfume range whatever it's called, I'm sure you know Jo Malone has some strange names for their products :rolleyes:

I have to say with only 2 days in I'm rather liking these, usually takes me ages to decide if I like or don't like :wink:

If so they look pretty damn good :smiley:

No, although very similar they are bigger and seem to dish in more, a few other small differences also.

I love them :grin:

Haha, yeah some weird and wonderful perfume names, but Mrs C probably thinks the same about your wheels.  :wink:

I'm glad you've taken so quickly to the Prets, especially after all your efforts to obtain them.  Obviously I'm a bit biased, but they really are a lovely, lovely wheel.  I'm so pleased to leave behind diamond cut VW wheels. 

You've probably seen, but there's a couple of people that have have had their Prets resprayed Anthracite and they look great. I've got some pics of someone else's that they sent me.  Let me know if you want to see what they look like.

Those dished Cadizesque ones on the R420 look better than the standard Cadiz.
