Having allowed my non-drinking wife to drive the Alpine back from a party, she unfortunately returned the favour by kerbing one of the front wheels!!! Aagh!!

Now about to have it repainted, but I need the RAL colour code and Alpine have yet to be forthcoming with this.

Anyone know what it is?

Many thanks, Rowland

Ok, so this turned out to be not easy, but with the help of Brad Banks of John Banks Cambridge we finally got there....

I now have spreadsheet from Alpine France listing wheel data for all Alpine models (via Brad). The colour code listed is 205445 which sadly means nothing to anyone outside of Dieppe, but speaking to another dealer at the Alpine day I discovered that the actual colour is Thunder Grey which has a Renault code of KPU. KPU is listed as a pearlescent finish, but for the wheel is is a satin version. Note that this may also be described as Gris Tonnerre which is Thunder Grey in French.

Wheel now refurbed and all is well. £85 inc VAT with Wheelcare in Bury St Edmunds.

So to be clear, the Titanium Grey Fuchs wheel colour is actually satin Thunder Grey.
