Guys,

I have noticed to my absolute horror that i have a small piece roughly about the size of a 5 pence piece out of my front alloy.

I quickly thought "bollocks!", fix immediately given the **** state of Britains roads. Naturally I went to where I had purchased the car from, a genuine scooby dealership.

I was amazed and a tad gnarled when they indicated that they had no idea what the colour code of gold the alloy was and didn't have a supplier for such paint.
WTF? I only paid £27k for the f**kin thing but i at least expect the supplier to know "EVERYTHING" about the car.

Can anyone out there help, apparently Subaru can spray the alloys gold or have them prepared but don't bother to note the colour details.

Sounds like absolute bollox to me, what the hell happened to customer service???? oh thats right we only get that when the car is over £30k.

Please guys, any ideas what the colour code of the gold is for the 2003 STI?

Cheers

Pete that is not as bad as when you spend another £2k on Prodrive wheels and they can't even give you the feckin colour code. In the end a bunch of us had to got to a spray shop and get them to match it

Dude, thats just harsh and precisely the reason why I am NOT going to purchase any alloys from them.
Is it me or is it seriously inept when we are treated like this and expected to carry on purchasing from them regardless.

I will take-up your advise and see if I can get the colour matched at a paint shop, wonder if scoobyclinic would have an idea?

Cheers matey

Yeah, just had a phone call from my dealers who sent a couple of PP7's to Spit and Polish last Thursday only to be told today that they can't do the job at all.

Has anyone had a PP7 in bright flitter repaired? If so where?

Dave,

Someone posted the colour of "Vivo Acciaio" for a set of FF7's with a code of PPG 226661 from prodrive themselves. Don't know if that helps.

Think it was DDG that posted the colour code.

Just to let you know, I received that paint code a while back for the bright flitter FF7's wheels but no paint company could trace it!
