You seem to have grill, bodywork and wheel arches in all manner of different colours. Shocked

Was it made from what was left over after production stopped?

Owner before me took great pride in keeping her looking up to date. Wheel arches are add ons as he included old ones and old grill in the sale. Private plate so doesnt look 12 years old either.

Just by the colour compared to the air intake I would say they were Stornaway Grey, Duckworths did a deal on these a few years ago. Big Cry

Your only realistic option is to have your grey arches sprayed up.
The arches are not really available any longer.
