Hello all, I'm hoping that some people may have found themselves in my position before. Basically I have a 2006 mjet Caribbean orange sporting gp, which I love to bits but I feel like buying an old shed to drive instead.

I will start at the beginning, firstly the gearbox went, cost a lot to fix but at the time the garage, (burton clutch centre - never use them in your life) dropped my engine on to the bumper, damaging it quite badly.

Next I came out of work one evening to find that a disgruntled member of the public had happily taken their boot to my front wing, destroying it effectively.

To tip me over the edge this evening some d*** kindly reversed into the orange machine, again inflicting more damage to my front bumper.

Now you have the background what the hell do you do with these orange gp's when they need something spraying? The bumpers are all different colours to the body and the body has faded enormously from the original shade of Caribbean orange, it is literally looking like I need a full respray for the front wing and bumper!!

Does anyone know of anywhere that can match a paint so that this costly job can be avoided, I have a family member who can spray a panel for me quite well so all i need is a paint match!

Please help!

I study at Leeds met in the week, work in the midlands at weekends so a trip via Donny wouldn't be too bad! Have you used them yourself? If you have good things to say I will give them a try!

Much appreciated!

I work in a bodyshop and this is where we get most of our paint from and we're in York so not exactly local to us either :p
