I was lucky... I just bought a 2nd hand bonnet that was a correct match, colourwise Shocked

Not a lot of good for you I know but I liked your Avatar picture of the Cat with the Hat Laughing

The bodyshop that we use charge £100-£150 per panel depending on the size. The thing to remember though is that there's no such thing as a cheap paint job,only good (more expensive) and bad (very cheap) Exclamation

Ask around and go for somewhere that has been recommended, has a paint mixing scheme and a low bake oven.That way they're more likely to get a factory finish.

Hi

We had our bonnet and scoop resprayed due to stone chips and the dreaded flaking paint on the scoop. Together with the roof section just above the windscreen cost £120 incl VAT and that was in a low bake oven, did a nice job - you can't see the join thumbup

Cheers
