Hi i looked at the little plate in the engine bay and it said paint code : RWV, so i went down to Halfords and told them the code, but they told me that there is no paint under that code. Any Ideas what i can do?

which car is this for, your blue one or the BRG one? Go to a paint shop and get it matched!

Halfords are absolutely dire. I spent over an hour and a half in there trying to get samples of any of a long list of yellows. They couldn't manage a single one. In the end I went for daytona yellow just because they could actually make it up

Lol, you realise BRG is one of the hardest colours to get right :'(

but if you get down a good paint shop, they'll match it to your car.. rather than a code, which is good.
