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. |

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 |

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.

Yea, but we don't need to put our lights on so early.
