Default Paint shops in or around Croydon

Anyone know of anywhere decent as I've managed to break the drivers door handle clean off off my 528 (so much for BM build quality) and can't get a replacment in the exact colour match (montreal blue).

It only needs a tiny amount of paint but would want the match as close as possible

Also, BM are trying to flog me a complete new lock set, but I'm told you can remove the drivers door locking mech and install into a new handle to keep the same key etc ?

Pics attached so show colour



Cheers
Paul

I think ID did "TurboTrevs" car. Though to be honest, unless you're a complete numpty just buy the spray tins from BMW. Go for 3-4 light coats then bung the lacquer on, but again go for multiple light coats

Why are there Chickens in your front garden.
