   they will match it better than halfords, be almost no more expensive, and in some cases cheaper, the paint will be of better quality as well.
   
   and it will be all in a handy rattle can

   lol only problem is the car is off the road at the moment so cant take it there to get it matched LOL
   
   might just wait and do the bumpstrips at a later date once its all on the road lol

   you only need to take something small, like petrol cap/boot handle and they will be able to match it off that

   If you get it clolour matched it will take into account how much the car has faded, if you got the exhact colour from halfords it would look too bright!
