Take a cardboard measurement from a existing Alpine/Tiger and you have your answer

Colour

Hi Brad, try Quartz blue Metallic colour code #61. A friend of mine had a beautiful Series 3 Alpine which was a factory colour. A lighter blue metallic that was quite striking.

Got a similar colour to that, just need some assistance with locating the covered up badge holes now.

Brad if the body man filled the holes they should be easy for him to uncover. If the car is in primer he should be able to sand the area to expose the brazed or welded holes. Get him to drill them back out again It is his problem

I guess your right, i've only got to be a bit out and it will make a mess of the existing holes.

Sorted, with some help with the dimensions from Stuart i made a drilling template, worked a treat straight through the old holes.
