the door i bought of a breaker went on today and it seems it came off a car that was in better condition paintwise (probably garaged all its life:rolleyes:) and its a good bit darker than mine

Central Pannel (might be central bodyshop) in Brislington on the A4 always used to have a good reputation, it is a certified body shop for saab, scooby and porsche (iirc) so doubt it will be a nice price.

other option is to have a mop and polish of the rest of your car to try and bring the paint back to the colour it is ment to be.....

central bodyshop are good at colour matching, but not cheap and dont like doing small jobs.

I'd go for this option personally - find a good detailier/valeter, you'd be amazed what they can do!
