I'd recommend Dips as Ant said, he recently sprayed up a bonnet for me done a perfect job in spraying and colour matching.

As already mentiond mate, Dips is the man for your car - guide lines of £1200 / £1400 depending on how the panel work is.
He's done a far few now as well as all the body kit on Sarah's Baur, an honest and fair trading guy.
He's located in the Heathrow area.
