Baz, I'd hope mine is a perfect match as I bit the bullet and bought a brand, spanking NEW one from the Main Stealers
... and for the record, these are my Chinos

Sorry mate, I just thought when you mentioned the rattle can job and the photo underneath, you'd given it a go yourself and thought it was a good match.

Is the top bit the more expensive part? It's the part I need,

Unfortunately Yes (as if the bottom part wasn't expensive enough) must be something to do with that M-Track button

I went through the whole PPG matt finish colour code chart and couldn't find a match. The closest was a Renault colour (I can get this code if you like), but the painter said he had to modify the colour flip to make it right.

Taken with the original (never repainted) dash piece in the left corner next to the spare steering wheel - A good painter will be able to match both the finish and the colour.

Photos of one with flash and one without to show the colour flip match. (Note, the top and bottom pieces are two different type of plastics - very strange indeed - so the colour will always show up slightly different no matter what you do. I have a spare set of brand new unused trim piece here and the top and bottom are slightly different colour again, it's normal)

Thanks for your response and your pictures, the result seems to be realy great !! I will see a painter this week-end and i will show him to see what it can be done. Just to have a reference maybe you can send me by PM the colour code.
Thanks again
