On that budget you will scrape in on a Silver 182 - probably needing some work.
I think for a mediocre average 182 sub 75k ideally 2500 is about the right price, 2500-3000 gets you nice. 3500 gets you mint.

Good luck with Orpington bodyshop - my mechanic is senior mastertech there & he said there paint / painters are sh*te lol- when I had a raider last year there was the smallest of scuffs on the arch & they wanted to paint the whole side - but didnt inspire me with confidence ...
The fact that its the bonnet isnt as bad as a wing as the front black bit will take away some of the starkness if its a different colour ....
KND is the paint code IIRC & its a bi*ch to match
