Anyone know what paint to use on here or how you might go about repairing it?

Don't think you can bud. Maybe go down a breaker / 2nd hand route. Otherwise you could extend the carbon theme? Hyro?

I'm in Greater Manchester.
I figured I might have to replace it I was just trying to avoid doing so if I could. Railway Auto Spares have one but it's a lot to pay for the sake of a blemish that only I'm likely to notice. It's just one of those annoying perfectionist moments.

It's a repair I could do but I'm in Kent so a long way from you. A decent SMART Repairer would be able to repair that .

Ah yeah Kent is a bit far to trek but thanks. I'll look into SMART repairers in the area and see whether it's worth repairing or replacing.

Can somebody just confirm for me, there is no difference between this part on a facelift model and a pre-facelift model is there? I've found one of interest but it says for pre-facelift. I'm pretty sure they're the same

Very slight difference, but pre facelift will fit. It’s what I have in mine from the factory. It wasn’t swapped bang on facelift. I have the centre roof lock for when lowered, which is where this panel is different. You can only see the difference from the outside through the rear window with the roof up, the rear centre part is missing.
