I've called around all my local scrappies, not one of them has a peugeot 206 bonnet, none have headlights either... :@
Some people are really rude on the phone 
I've called all the body shops around here and if I buy a brand new bonnet in black primer, and get it resprayed, they want around £300 to fade it in with the wings, or £120 if I just want it there and 'it will stick out like a sore thumb', is this right? lol

how old is your car ? because the bonnet will only stick out if all of your other paint work has faded. shouldnt make to much differance if your car is newish  also colour of your car will make a big differance, for example reds fade to pinks very easily if not looked after.

It's china blue, 52 plate  I polish it and look after it rather well even if I say so myself, we will soon find out though as I am going to spray my front grill bit thing with china blue spray, and will compare it ... hopefully not too much of a difference

surely you can just rent a machine polisher and give the wings etc a buff, and then they will match the bonnet better?

no idea im afraid mate, but ruffys probably right, if you can put up with a botched bonnet for a bit longer until a 2nd hand one in your colour comes up then thats probably your easiest and cheapest bet.
