The good thing for you is that there's no damage to repair, it's just a colour blend so it shouldn't cost silly money. However, some shops may want to paint your front wings together with the bumper to guarantee 100% match but that will obviously cost more. Personally, I'd try to match the colour exactly by using spray out cards then just do the bumper but that's just my preferred method.

Wiper delete went smooth the 25mm grommet I got from B&Q was perfect I used some silicone glue to give it an extra firm fit and fully waterproof looks a lot cleaner now.
Tied up the pipes like Babel said and it works a treat! ImageImage

And the A1 seats are in! So happy with them, much comfier and sets the interior nicely, mint for £150.00!
I rigged up my dad's garage door to stay dryish but the marks you can see on the seats are just water from kneeling on them etc they are in great nick! ImageImageImage

Ok so the first attempt went all wrong and I managed to brake a bit off the end so I ordered another one and it came today and I took a bit more precision with this one.
Here it is. ImageImageImageImageImage

I found fitting mine to be a real tight fit in those corners under the doors, plus the 3m tape just loves to stick and stay stuck! Simple mod that almost got the better of me.

Yes mate well it did get the better of me the first attempt because I underestimated that tight fit and the second attempt I didn't peel the tape back fully when I was sizing it into place I peeled both off a tiny bit so I could pinch them then once defiantly in place of peeled them back without moving the plastic strip. Much better method!

Give Walter the works today cleaning wise!
Full clean head to toe and demon shine and also c2v3 liquid crystal Gtechniq water beading treatment.
I also had a scruffy passenger electric window button so changed that.
Here's some photos guys. Enjoy! ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
