Hi everyone,

I've just bought an ATR from this site at the weekend........

http://www.accordr.o...showtopic=28876

..... It was a long drive to pick up the car, I had to go from Leicester to Glasgow and then back again.....but it was well worth it.

I must admit that I fell in love with the car pretty much straight away. It looks and drives better than anything I've ever owned before. Not too hard considering my car history includes: Peugeot 306 D turbo, Hyundai Accent MVI and a 1.4 Escort.

I will be visiting the site from time to time to pick up some tips and ask some advice from the experts.

And I'll start now: The car came with the standard alloys but without the centre caps on. The centre caps were included but they are not on the car as they are the wrong colour and dont match the wheels. Does anyone know what colour/type of paint that I need to use to get them back to the original alloy colour?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi pal :hello2:

I'm sure Honda should be able to shed some light on the colour.
