Its just i was chatting to my bodyshop mate and he was saying the 3 stage paints are hard to do cuz the more you put on the darker it gets! 
 
So its hard to match panels and that as everything has to be painted on the car in the first place and hard to blend if it isnt a full re-spray! 
 
Just what i heard but if your having it done professionally then you shouldnt have to worry!

even a stage 2 paint is the same! 
Thats why a friend didnt use the lambo yellow with blue tint as was hard to match again!

isn't too hard to match mate, had same colour on mine and had to do a couple of blowins on it.  Just take it easy on the liquid gold, use 3-4 light coats rather than less heavy coats.  If you need any advice just bell me mate. 
Cheers

Shave the front bumper back so it actually looks like it's been designed for the car. 
 
Cut off the pointless tips on each side of the rear spoiler.

i know wot u mean bout the front bumper not suiting the car cos it stick out so far the centre bit, but at the end of the day i paid i decent price for the car so dont c much point in spending out £200+ for a new bumper! that can go on re trim instead! really wanna try and get the car into to 100 at max london!!
