    Hello and welcome. I've only recently bought my 1300 Copen, so I'm still learning and can't advise on the best source of parts. I understand they can sometimes be tricky to get, depending on what they are.

    I'm interested in what you're proposing for a colour change. My silver Copen is in pretty good condition, rust wise, so in the short term I'm going to give it a custom roof job in burgundy leather vinyl. Longer term, if I keep the car, I may go for a full respray. Something like British Racing Green. But that's something I don't want to rush. As you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of silver, nor black or grey cars - there's too many of them on the roads!

    Which engine does yours have? I'm just down the A483 in Shropshire. Maybe see you on the road sometime :cool:
