My concern is paint match, doing certain panels will it match? I guess taking the whole car and just let him match the colour or remove the bits I want, like I did with my Mk1 and he only has those panels. He made a pretty good match before but that was brilliant black, not much to get wrong once he got the correct code.
Anyways sounds like you’ll have a pretty perfect looking car once done, a unique one, just like the others you’ve had.
TBH I’m leaning towards an NC2 probably the PRHT or more ambitious the ND but as things are ATM good quality cars in my budget aren’t popping up for me or have been sold.
