Parts book says wheel disc and rim L43 grey-black - as for handbrake lever and steering column tube - for 1968 models. The higher trim spec simply added wheel discs - no special colours. Only 61-63 got clever colours, which depended on body colour. 64-66 had wheels and rims L41 black. Pigalle, Teak and Black had various other options for seat frames in 66.
