Hi there,
I've got a Light Blue (1991) Defender 90, that's had its driver's door replaced - however the colour doesn't match the rest of the bodywork because of 30 years of fading. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a spare driver's door of a similar age that might be a better colour fit....?

Have you tried to polish the old paint?

Going to be a very hard find, especially with the fading etc..

I didn't even notice it tbh, but i mean you could always just get the rest of the defender sprayed for the door

Looks sound as it is

I would try polishing that cutting back the old paint to match first. Getting a matching door sticker is surely going to be more of a challenge.
I also did not immidiatly notice the different shade anyway!

And there’s me thinking it was gonna be a mangled door pic.

Looks fine don’t worry.

would be handy to have a spare door in case it rains

Wind jammer, or Arles blue. I’ve seen worse. Try machine polishing the other panels first.

I will have your door and you can have mine, new in 21 so has faded a bit but no sticker.
Err perhaps not, you have a nice door so live with it.
