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.
