Basically as the question..
I'm patching up the wheelarches on my 318iS, which is 'Alpine White 2'.
I've bougt a spray can from Halfords whch is 'Alpine White' so I'm not sure if it's the correct one.
Can someone confirm 100% for me?
If the Halfords one is wrong, where can I buy the correct colour ASAP?
thanks..
Hugh

try a dealer...
the price is little more than halfords...and if you ask for a 10% discount they tend to give t to you...so not much in it...and best chances of a good match.

take your paint code from the passengers inner wing to a auto paint supplier and they'll give you a perfect match. most places will be able to make it up while you wait and they can do it in a rattle can. as previously said can be a little more expensive but is worth it.

Halfords stock item is almost certainly Alpine White 1,this is yellowy compared to Alpine White 2...think of snow that as been pee'd on for a quick comparision!
Halfords should be able to mix you the correct colour,they managed to do me a very good neon green!

Christ, even yellow'er? I thought AlpineWhite II was pretty yellow, my old 106 was a really brilliant pure white compared to my i.S
