I have to re-spray mine as its oxidised very badly and is bringing the rest of the car down. Think I'll have a crack at it myself if I can get some spray cans made up in the right colour.

It was 3 years in the harsh conditions parked in that driveway in Titirangi that did it, even with 4 coats of wax a year.
Constantly having bits of tree and sap falling on it as well as all the UV and rain damage. Bonnet was going bad too, but thats all been resprayed now after the accident so all thats left is the little scratch on the bumper, and the god awful spoiler.
Now it lives in a nice warm garage so I think it'll do much better in the coming years. I suspect one of my o2 sensors is on the way out though as very occasionally I get a rough idle at the lights. Just about due for new plugs anyway so I'll look into it then.
