Heavy peel u got there paint wise, laid on very thick by the looks of it, but wen on the car shouldnt be noticable. dark silver should work well!
How did it get damaged??? transporting?

^^ i was gonna say looks like the paint has been sprayed on quite thick so you get that gradient effect? still good for a £100 though

Meh I quite like the effect. As james says, it kinda has a textured gradient to it
Ye unfortunately...i went over a speed bump, and the bottom wheel shunted forward into the back of the seat - what a nightmare!
It looks good now I have repaired it though

UPDATE:
The wheels are now on the car
Apologies for the rubbish photos....i literally took them on the off chance!
And before anyone says anything, this was just after they had been fitted, so the suspension had not settled!
Better photos to come
