Mk1b alloy wheel for paint match

Post by halflife »

All but given up on getting paint code or finding a set of mint OE mk 1b alloys. So I thought if that If I could find someone with an original colour spare in the north west or North Wales area I could do a colour match.

Don't suppose there is anyone who could help me is there?

I have mk1a alloy in very good condition (some red paint from the body on it and flaky paint below the TOYOTA text).

I can take pictures if you want.

The main wheel is a standard silver and the tear drops were gun metal grey
Now I don't remember the codes off the top of my head.
But even if it's not exactly as it left the factory I doubt anyone will notice the difference

I know I am being fussy but I want to get it back to completely standard and as it left the factory.

Its a 1B not I need a 1B wheel to colour match really. Will keep my eye out on flee bay

Hi mate

Try Lepsons Alloy Refurbishers in Gillingham Kent, they return to OE Spec and will have the colour code, ask for Chris he is really helpful.
