Original Imola alloy colours

[V8Mad]

Hello,
Getting the Imola alloys refurbed at a local company in Spalding - trying to get them to colour match the original paint. They said it would help if there were ref numbers, but as far as I'm aware none really exist? Lots of different shades of silver out there, and who's to say the colour they'll match hasn't already faded?
Any ideas folks?




Don't look too bad from a distance, but get closer up to the fronts and the lacquer has gone in areas...

Thanks

They don't look like Imolas in that photo?

Cant help with the original colour sorry but i visited the showroom and let the refurbisher suggest the colour on mine when i had them done last year.
They seemed pretty knowledgeable on what suited the car.

Trick of the light I think . If you zoom in and squint at a 35degree angle ,They are .

I think I'll have to let them do the same then. How easy are the centre sections to remove?

They just push through so not a big problem.
