Providing the new second hand bonnet is still in the original factory paintwork, it will match your car.

Having said that, 02C ( W R Blue) is a pretty good colour match whatever, and has been used since 2001...

I've had quite a few bits added to my WR Blue Mica Bug WRX over the years and I'm amazed at how good the colour match is

Iv'e had paintwork done on a white Astra GTE, a red Astra GTE, red MR2 and others over the years and it's never quite been the same.........

thats good if colour is consistant. prob be cheaper finding one than getting it fixed and sprayed so wanted to make sure theres no changes.
