Speak to Jake Walsh hes over on uk-mkivs.net he uses a system called Dupont you've probably heard of it but they dont use the colour codes they have a camera that basically goes on the body of your car and they take pictures of different areas then they place it in a dock and the Pc program tells them the best match and it may not be even a vw colour but it will match perfectly.

Rochdale is a bit of a trek from Luton...over 200 miles I think.  Thanks for the advice though.  I think the body shop did mention they use "DuPont" but they used the chassis no to mix the paint rather than use the camera.

I'm going to get the side skirts fitted and then ask them to repaint the bits whilst on the car.  But I will make a point that they minimise blending on to the existing panels and also do the "camera" paint match...
