I used two16 inch length of 1 inch square wood with a hole drilled in each end as a spacer bar and longer bolts to replace the shorter original bolts.

So, as per my first post, the car is Surf Blue and there are a couple of very minor stone chips that I would like to sort so I have just found the paint code on the passenger side b-pillar and it says "Paint Z31" but when I try and find a match for a touch-up bottle I can only find "Z3U"...

Are there any other Surf Blue owners out there who can check theirs please because looking at that list it says mine is Blue Lagoon !!!

I got some blue t-cut scratch remover from work yesterday and have touched up the above scratches and have spent all day today washing, clay-barring, polishing and waxing the car and have now got it just how I want it....not bad for a 4 year old motor
