Cheers Ben. Yeah Dan's gonna slosh a bit of underseal about. Where are the bungs? I've a feeling they may have disappeared long ago with the rest of the arches

The feedback is that no variation of Ford Imperial Blue matches my car, which might indicate that it's not Imperial Blue

So Dan was off to Northampton yesterday with the Fuel filler flap to get it matched and mixed by the lightbox. I think going to Northampton sounds excessive personally but Dan is adament that these guys are the nuts and he won't go anywhere else.... sounds expensive

All of which meant that i couldn't collect the GTR today, but soon hopefully.

Oh, and also bought some more heat shield for the under side of the bonnet to try and prevent any further cracking of paint so fingers crossed

Would it not have been cheaper to just post it to them (the fuel filler flap that is, I wasn't suggesting popping the car in a jiffy bag....)

The bungs are in the rear wheel arches themselves. Check that the original body sealant is intact all the way around the arch mate, or that will be another fix in X amount of months time. If Dan is fussy enough to go to Northampton for a paint match, then he'll be fussy enough to underseal the car properly.
I would have thought, from memory, that your paint is closer to BMW's Mauritius blue......

Well I would have thought so, maybe he's got other stuff on up there and/or wants to swing back with the paint to crack on? I'm guessing as not spoken to him

are they? I've never noticed them, whereabouts? But yeah I reckon he'll do a decent job with the sealant, if for no other reason than he never wants to see it again...

Interesting shout, I could prob start a "guess the colour of the gtr" book

2.5k seems strong but they do look nice. A little Christmas bonus eh?

Strong? seem ludicrous, but there's usually a deal to be had eh? Anyway, all this night off from xmas party silly season is dangerous, also fancy one of these front lips having seen Bens post on FB
