When I did our current one I had to do a lot of the fitting of that lid. Car had been through numerous unknown hands, we got it when painted "Amana White." Rebuild was in '06~07 and the doors, boot lid and bonnet were all in need of twisting/tweaking, fettling in some way or other to satisfy my OCD...
Went with original color, Old English White. Did the hardtop in same.
