For one reason or another i find myself visiting here less and less i used to be on here 5 or 6 times a day but now it could be a full week inbetween visits So if anybody wishes to contact me for some black gold maybe best to contact me via whatsapp on 07523249617 but please dont message me after 9pm and before 8am because everybody needs a rest .

Yes

Scanning is the way to go as it will match your today's colour that may be different to a paint code if you did find one on the car and even gel coat eventually fades a bit.

Well, thanks everyone - I'll look for a company locally then

You have mail Matt

And of course it will be much quicker as a result. Win win.

And once you've found a decent paint shop that can supply you with a matching green paint get them to spray it orange job done.

So the plan is to convert aero to windscreen.. parts required windscreen with black mounts/mirrors heater assembly, ductwork,switch washers and wipers pipes linkage switch etc all mounting hardware. its also wide body,I currently have the fillet piece side windows if possible thanks dan

As @Captain Colonial says, you need to find your local version of a place like this. This is the one I've used near Bristol Colour Matching | Car Paint Warehouse https://share.google/pRfR5u7uPmZJG4yRL

The best solution is to go to a very good body shop that can scan your existing colour and give you a formula to match it, then contact a company (plenty on the web) who can manufacture and supply rattle cans in that colour, but ensure it’s paint suitable for going over gelcoat / GRP. There are more than 16m colours available, with humans able to differentiate 10m+. You do not want anything less than a match or it will annoy you every time you look at it.

Is anyone going to this trackday?

Good afternoon everybody, I was thinking about touching up the scratches on my Westfield but I don't know what colour it is. Is there a number somewhere on the car? or does anyone know how to match the colour properly? I think it's close to British Racing Green - but not quite. Any help would be appreciated Peter ( Chug)

@Trevor Little (Trevturtle) I hope you and Kirsty will join us?

I am finding it strangely difficult to fine one of these. Does anyone have a spare one that they are willing to sell? Many Thanks,

As soon as I read that I knew you were a local boy! 😂 Doesn't look like you are in our Bristol and Bath WhatsApp group though @mikef?

I randomly drove past that air field instead going main road way around. Also to break trip up and I wanted to be nosey at planes and couldn't believe they had Vulcan airplane there. I was on road trip to Le man 2025 heading to Café & Machine, Clarkson's Farm/pub lol.

That in Sunderland? You know Haggis?

We used to make the Nissan Primera GT for Japan. As well we made the same car for 70+ countries. There was a sister plant in Japan making the Primera and other cars. They sent jap spec parts to the UK. We would assemble the car with a huge amount effort to ensure that the car was 110% as best it could be. Fit a sticker on the front fenders "made in the UK 🇬🇧" ship it back to Japan. Only GT models were made. There was a TV in the centre infotainment screen that was illegal in EU countries but not out there. I guess it was traffic jams and low speed making safer. In general tho they were built better. We did underseal all cars except cars to some desert places where the underseal would attract sand. (it's actually a wax thats used). The jap culture is very into the cosmetics of the car first and the function 2nd. So buying one might be a good deal
