    You should find this on either the door jam or under the bonnet?

    I'd get the exact match as there's nothing worse than a two-toned similar colour car.

    BTW Anyone notice Audi's silver is the biggest offender when it comes to panel matching? If you check the colour of the plastic bumper to the metal car body. Some serious colour mis-match there!

    NOW, would be a good time to change the colour ;). Have a looky here.

    Peugeot usually has three letters for their paint codes.

    However, there can be several shades of that particular colour in which case you will need to match it at the paint shop by taking along the petrol flap aswell as the code. :D

    ...this way the correct paint will be made up for you:) :)

    I think the reason it looks off is because the bumper and body panels are so flush.

    Why not just buy it in your local Pug dealer? Halfords is best avoided unless you are looking for lexus lights or universal fit alloys.

    Would have to disagree there, they do very good 3 bottle touch up kits, that include primer, paint and lacquer, and also have pen nibs and brush in the same bottle - better than the Peugeot ones.

    I remember getting peugeot branded paint with a 307 I traded in last year.
    It seemed to be made by the same company that does the Toyota touch ups as it had the same type of brush with a little wire brush built into the top.
    Try another dealer.

    Sahara Yellow is Peugeot's official name.

    Not listed on Glasurit & PPG's site is down

    Not shown here either as its a U.S. site but 3 letter codes seem to be Peugeot's codes.

    you can get it at a motor factors/paint shop and then Halfords will put it in a spraycan - this is what a lot of DIY folk do:) You will need to get the code and get the correct shade mixed up first;) ..I suppose...find the code!:D

    Halfords will mix and put it in a can anyway, no need to go to motor factors before-hand.
