   dont use the fucking arctic steel one
   was icelandic grey instead
   i've used posi blue on the insides, cant tell you how well it matches a car though
   
   i've been told that they're good for paints though
   
   try here
   
   just got some arctic steel from there and its a perfect match

    halfords = numptys
    
    whenever i got my mirror caps, i went to halfords and asked for citreon quartz silver. got it and took it home and by chance looked at it and noticed something wasnt right.

    i dont think thats a bad match, its only because your bonner's shinier that it may look darker but i think you've done a good job mate
