Slight accident today in my 05MY STI managed to kerb my front wheel whilst trying to get in a tight parking spot. grrrrrr.... I was not impressed! Spent the rest of the afternoon taking it out on the golf course splaying ***** in all directions. I cant even blame the wife for this heniuos crime at a later date as she was in the passanger seat at the time!
Do Subaru make a touch up gold wheel paint for the Standard STI gold wheels?
If not, what is the best one to get at Halfords....
Thanks
Paul.

ps my Mrs was'nt to blame either !

 

I got an exact match from halfords ages ago, forgot to write down the code though
I spent a good 1/2 hour in the car park with all the paint code books to find a match. They mixed up the paint and put it in a rather handy dandy touch-up thingy.

 

Paul, there are some relatively cheap MY05 STI wheels for sale in the classified section - might be worth the investment? Mind you that'd be an expensive repair!

Sorry to hear that m8, my missus just got her new car, not a scoob though, and kerbed her wheels after 4 days.

Where do you play golf?

 

"Motor World" (used to be called "Les Smiths")do a "touch up" pen called "Metallic Gold" it's just over £3 and is a perfect match on MY05 STI

 

If you can't do it yourself/find the right paint mate, try somewhere like littleknocks. They touched up a small scratch on mine (done by the previous owner...honest!) and made it look like new.

just sold brand new set of sti 05 wheels to megamodz for £400 (only covered 3k miles). give him a bell as i think he was only interested in the tyres
