Tempest and XPG are one in the same.
I got a touch up in XPG from Halfords just a couple of weeks ago, my advice, don't bother, It was so far from the truth as to be absurd, too dark and not enough metal.
I bought a touch up Kit from Rimmer bros, cheaper and more to the point exactly right.
Part number AWZ000120 (01MB02AC01) may just be Rimmers code.
£ 5.19 delivered includes paint and lacquer
Ring them and make sure they have stock 01522 563344

The hard part is applying it :) I haven't attempted yet it has become too damp and cool.

Thanks for that, I'll contact Rimmers, luckily I know someone with a heated garage and I will park in it the night before I do any touching up to ensure the car is warm as well as the air temp. Dave

I think you would be better of using paint code JQW for your cars







Ok you guessed it, the code it for Midnight Blue, but would still look better ;) http://www.xerces.com/images/smilies/run.gif

My X Power touch up from Halfords was also a joke. Complete waste of money, and they won't refund despite guaranteing the colour match.

I picked a genuine one up from a former dealer, and it is as close as you could wish.

I had the same with the Halfruds version of X power gray more of an X power darkish white! Got a genuine one from dealers. Incidentally if any one as a Royal Blue car (and what a great colour it is ;) ) then Land Rover Oslow Blue is the same. John.

Not a lot of people know this........


but X power Grey is the most common 260 colour, closely followed by Starlight silver.

Not a lot of people know that.:nurse:
