    All completed

    So after a recommendation and some help form a member here, I was guided towards a local garage who took off the trims, matched them with their paint cards, painted them, baked them, even sprayed up a match card for future use with my name on, and then charged me £70 all inc.

    Got the trims back today and very happy, even put on some flippers that were not peeling on the back. JUST my button now seems a little worn! They even removed the BMW part number sticker and put back after spraying!

    Just to confirm and update on the base colour the painter used to replicate the trim colour on my spare pieces. Seems like I remembered it wrong, it was a Fiat colour as seen below. I got him to paint up another spare trim i had sitting around and he'll print off the computer mix for us when it's done, but it's a modified version of the colour below (which is actually surprisingly close)
