hello mate, good to meet you the other day, the car looks fab!

I went to get mine done and the bodyshop insisted on a paint code - When I wrote to Renault they replied saying there was no specific paint code for the wheels. They recommended any half decent bodyshop would beable to knock up an extremely close match for them.

There is a paint match but its a foreign one - I think they were made in Italy. I have the code at home.

Hi Carl, thanks for the enquiry.

Youre right about the Clio Williams wheels being made by Speedline. They were originally made in Speedlines main original equipment plant for Renault. We are the UK arm of Speedline Corse, Speedlines specialist product division which deals with racing, aftermarket and specialist applications.

The wheel, whilst being made by Speedline, has a Renault copyright so unfortunately we cannot supply this wheel to anyone other than Renault. This would be dealt with directly between Speedline Italy and Renault France. I believe the wheel is still available via the Renault dealer network, even though it has not been made for some considerable time.

As far as the colour is concerned, I can only offer the original paint code ( as applied by Speedline ), unfortunately not an RAL or Pantone. This was Akzo 7E 81208. Please be very very careful though. Gold is notoriously difficult to exactly get the correct colour match, I know it sounds daft, but primer coat, spray technique, baking temperature, all these things affect the final colour appearance. Clearly, when they are made in Speedlines factory it is with a highly controlled environment and process hence the continuity of colour match across thousands of wheels.

Hopefully Ive been of some help.

Feel free to give me a shout if you need anything else.

Kind regards

David Williams

Did anyone try halfords just got some chap to mix me up some 449 paint for the willy 1 and he stuck it in a spray can - amazing ! ( simple minds and all!)

Take your wheel to B&Q and get them to do the colour match thing on it, they could knock you up a few litres of it
