Thanks for the photo Jason, it certainly looks 'the poodles db' and does look good with the spoiler. I'm going to hang back for now on weather it goes on or not.

Paint!

Talked to main man at my local dealer, Nobles, who runs there body shop and he in turn spoke with Subaru, here goes......
They said the boot/trunk and side trim are made from resin and the black is not a pigment for paint but for resin and is added at the molding stage, the same pigment is added to the paint 'vehicle' for the roof at piont of manufacture.
He was advised if doing a repair to try basic black tint which is used for colour mixing as there is no colour code for the black.

So, back to Halfords!

All opinons most welcome
