Ok so I used to own this car untill I stupidly sold it.
But my questions are,
What is the standard colour called? (the greeny colour)
Also any ideas what wheels these are, there kinda like bbs but have a big centre nut that keeps an blanking pannel secure over the nuts and that's hold in buy a circlip kinda thing which looks really good, can't seem to find them anywhere though.

EDIT: I don't think this is very comprehensive, but a good start

i can't see them being hockenhiems if they have centre locks on.
