Default Headlight surround Paintcode JGE search

Hi guys.

Since I bought the car i 2012, i´ve been bothered with a slight nuance difference in the colour of the passenger side (LHD) headlight surround.

Think the previous owner might had a small incident and had the surround repainted, but in a slight slight different colour....

Would be wonderfull to get the correct part though.

Where should i look? started with ebay, but no luck.

Im guessing breakers? Any one how has it all?

Best regards

I would agree you could start at a salvage/breaker or eBay, but if you can't find your color the other option would be a repaint of the piece.

Unfortunately as you probably know, unless you have a buddy that will cut you a deal, most professional shops aren't even going to do a small piece for less than $100-200USD because they have to buy a minimum quantity of paint, then there's setup and time.

Another option could be to find a quality touch up paint vendor, or have a small quantity of professional paint mixed and buy an aerosol and paint it yourself.
