What Colour Is My Xs?

[Jer309GTi 3]

As above really, I was just wondering whats the name of the colour of my XS. Its a G reg, phase 1.5. Is it steel grey? Or something else?

 

 

Also, I'm getting some 14" 106 rallye steels to put on it, and cant decide whether I should leave them white or paint them black. Any opinions welcome

 

 

Cheers

its not steel grey, i think its just silver. Thats one tidy looking XS by the way

Keep them white, will look great with them on. I would suggest going for the S1 106 rallye wheels, 5.5j, as i have some S2 6j ones which rub on the back when you have people in.

Personally I'd get the standard wheels blasted and then refinished. I think that looks ace in the top picture, and in my opinion you'll spoil it by putting the Rallye wheels on it.

13 inch wheels are so small though! Plus they handle awful in comparison to the wider 106 wheels.

What Tom said - I think a standard looking XS is gorgeous. Please don't put 106 steelies on - even though I do like 106 steelies.

I think it is Gris Futura

Paint code M0TP

Paint Code should be behind the nearside headlight if it hasnt been resprayed.

Looks lovely by the way, very jealous

What is up with the driving lights mind!?

The driving lights are hideous I know! I'll be putting a set of standard ones on asap It is as tidy as it looks in the pics, have yet to see a tidier 205! It was owned by an elderly bloke for most of its life apparently, no expense spared.

 

Cheers for the paint code btw

Thanks for all the nice comments

 

It is a very tidy car and Im really pleased with it. I have seen pics of xs's with rallye steels on and thought it looked really good, plus I've got some bigger brakes to go on so cant really keep the standard 13s on there

 

Ali, I never really have anyone in the back of the car, usually its just me. Is it only when you have people in the back that they rub? Also what size tyres have you got? Cheers

as previously stick with the original steel wheels and get them refurbished - you can get decent rubber still for 13'' ie A021R if can accomaodate 185/60/13

 

Very nice looking car that shame to spoil it for the sake of a bit of refurbing and searching for decent rubber and if stopping power is a prob just get decent rubber and remember its a 25 yr old car design with 25 yr old safety features ( or NOT ! )...

 

better 5m late in this life than 5 mins earlier in the next life...

id get the 106 wheels, the 13" ones are just too skinny and have no grip.

there's a silver gti on the white rallye steels in here... http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...11385&st=70

looks good, but kinda needs the black gti arches and so on.

Paint the rallye rims in silver with the black centre caps should look good with the silver car
