Subaru parts don't sell a paint stick.....try your local paint/body shop and they should be able to make some up for you quite cheaply. If they don't know the paint code they could easily get it from SUK.

If your talking about FF7's forget it! Get a local paint shop to paint match them.
I had the same problem years ago trying to find a paint code for my FF7's, tried IM, Prodrive and even Speedline nobody could help me.

Nope, they are not bright flitter. (Well so subaru told me)

Also at Power Engineering I parked next to a WR1 and the colour differance was quite noticable.

I also asked on the SIDC BBS and was told they are indeed two differant colours. Allbeit very simular.

Don't hold me to that though

I will try and confirm it 100% first, but I'm 99% sure.

Paint codes are available for the wheels.

The only problem is that they aren't recognised on anybodies paint schemes.

Mike,

A big thanks for the reply

I got mt PF-7 repaired but it took 5 mixes till a simular colour was achieved

Is there a conversion Table or a simular Paint Code in the existing UK/EU paintcodes schemes?

Regards,

Pain in the Butt, i mean Tony

So as part of the deal they ordered their next demonstrator with flitter PFF7's, to do a swap. I waited almost 2 months (with gold wheels!!!) for the flitter ones to come through, the reason given being they were all used up in the WR1-makeover.

Strange reason as they're different colours!

That was the point of the post...are they different colours? Was I being spun a story at the time (?reason) or did they apply the WR1 colour to stock 'bare' wheels for the WR1 thus diverting supplies?...not that it really matters anyhoo...

Would be interested in an official verdict on this, as I've been told many times they are differant. Very confused!

When there was a group buy for PFF7's on here a couple of months ago the WR1 wheels were dearer than the other non gold PFF7 wheels. You also needed the chassis number to be able to order them for the WR1.

Not sure if they just repainted the original ones though.
