All those colours are not common and won't be cheap. I thought you would have to go like for like with insurance?

Not if I take cash to fix it instead and add cash ontop and get the whole lot done.
But if it was getting repaired by a body shop they would repair and paint in same colour.

Glass out and back to bare metal first would be my first choice and then the original colour.

WR(C) blue definitely the best of the bunch, failing that the P1 blue but definitely not the WR1 blue.

No chance, you'd be looking at a couple of hundred quid of glass work, for your budget it ain't gonna be bare metal either.

My next door neighbour owns Cymru Autoglazing, so not a problem to have glass removed and put back in. I can do that all myself anyways as I did work for him for 6+ months and have all the tools, and have done it a fair few times.
