Yep you'll be fine Sy
Mine is an 04 registed one and I've just had about a complete respray done under the corrosion warranty.
Only sticking point will be if it's had paint in that area before.

Only paint it's had is front bumper wings and bonnet that I had done because of stone chips.

I wouldn't just want the 1/4 panel done, it would need to be blended in down the side into the doors and rear bumper to be perfect. Do they take that into consideration ?

That is the only problem with Silver cars they have to be a very good repair job to not be noticed

A decent bodyshop should be able to match it very well but they will need to go into the door and rear bumper

I know Mine was registered 1st of September 2003 (the very first day of 53 plated CSLs) so still as far as the 12 year body/paint work warranty goes.
