Colour Coding Customisation
We know that you are proud of your car, both for its style and performance. Perhaps, though, you’d like it to be just that touch more – individual. With the approval of a wide range of renowned car manufacturers, here at Lloyds Autobody, we are authorised to carry out the highly-professional colour coding of every part of your car, both inside and out, to the standard demanded by such outstanding companies – and also by discerning owners like you.




Why Colour Coding?
It’s a matter of style and taste, a satisfying way to make your car stand out from the crowd. Colour coding adds just a touch of emphasis, a unique definition point, or simply that tiny wow factor.
Why Lloyds Autobody?

Our staff are continually trained to the exacting standards required by the manufacturers
All the paints we use are approved by that manufacturer – and we can match any colour you request from our extensive library of over 10,000 cards
Any parts removed during the process will immediately be tagged for identification and securely-stored until replaced on your car
The colour coding work on your vehicle is not completed and signed-off until it has successfully passed through our stringent quality control inspection

What Part of My Car Can Be Colour Coded?
We can carry out the process to all areas of your vehicle. These may include the roof, panels, wing mirrors, bumpers, skirts and interiors. We can advise you of the best way to enhance the appearance of your vehicle to deliver a bespoke and individual look using our unrivalled experience and expertise.
Your First Steps Toward Colour Coding
We are happy to fully discuss both the process and your options for any colour coding work you have in mind - see contact details at the bottom of this article.
You know you can trust Lloyds Autobody to colour code your vehicle to the standard you demand.

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Anyone can fall victim to corrosion on their alloy wheels, even if they drive carefully on the road. Your car is an extension of you, so if something were to unfortunately damage any part of it, Lloyds Autobody are here to help get you back on the road in no time.
Alloy Wheel Repairs
Wear and tear will naturally occur to your alloy wheels and consequently, chips, cracks, scuffs and scrapes are bound to happen. Kerb and pothole damage can target any car, resulting in a need to refurbish or repair your wheels.
You don’t have to wait for your alloys to suffer from an extensive amount of damage before you come to us for a refurbishment; our alloy service can include diamond cut faces or bespoke dual tone paint. Refurbishing your alloys not only make your car look great, but it can also help maintain the value of your vehicle.
Lloyds Autobody understands that the value and expression of a car lies in its appearance, so we use state of the art of equipment to ensure your vehicle is restored to the same standard you’d expect straight from the factory.
Our paints and materials are manufacturer approved, and Lloyds Autobdy work with incredible brands like Rolls Royce, Bentley and McLaren so you know you are guaranteed the best service with us. No two cars are the same, so our dedicated team make sure your car is treated with the utmost care and bespoke packages take into account the individual requirements of your car.

Lloyds Autobody GDPR Privacy Notice
 Lloyds Autobody takes its obligations concerning data protection seriously. 
We are providing this notice so you have information about how we collect and process your personal information. We ask you to please read this Privacy Notice as it has important information you need to know. 
What does our company do?
Lloyds Autobody is an approved and accredited vehicle body repairer network       that organises and manages the repair of accident damaged vehicles for individuals, motor insurance companies and fleets. We work with contracted specialists and vehicle manufacturers that supply parts, paint, materials, and services to enable the repair of your vehicle. Our clients include the Sytner Group and Volkswagen Group, full client lists are available on this website.
How do we use your personal information?
This privacy notice is to let you know how Lloyds Autobody, promise to look after your personal information. This includes what has been passed on to us via your insurer, what you tell us about yourself, what we learn by having you as a client or customer, and the choices you give us about what you want us to send to you. This notice explains how we do this and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you. 
 We promise:
 
·       To keep your data safe and private
·       To manage your data based on your rights
·       Not to sell your data
 
How the law protects you
As well as our privacy promise, your privacy is protected by law. Data Protection law says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing outside Lloyds Autobody. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:
 
·       To fulfil a contract we have with you, or
·       When it is in our legitimate interest, or
·       When it is our legal duty, or
·       When you consent to it
A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what it is. In most cases it will be to repair your vehicle. 
What information do we collect and process?
In order for us to repair your vehicle it is legitimate and necessary to receive from your insurer, fleet manager, company, or from yourself necessary personal data. “Personal Data” is information about you which, either on its own or when connected with other data, allows us to identify you as an individual customer to provide you with our services. The personal data we hold may include the following:
 
·         Your full name and contact information (address, town, postcode, email and phone number)
·         Your credit card details and/or bank account details (if paying by cheque or bank transfer)
·         Your purchase details (including time, date and cost, and VAT status and insurance excess)
·         Your insurance company (if our work is part of an insurance claim)
·         Your vehicle information (make, model, registration number)
·         Your proof of identity (valid driving licence and/or passport)
·         Your image on security CCTV around our repairer sites
·         Your work address and contact information
·         Your calls and correspondence with us
·         Your feedback
Personal data will be collected from you or passed to us by your insurance company/fleet manager/vehicle recovery agent. However, some personal data may, where lawful to do so, or with your consent, be collected by us from third parties (e.g. DVLA to check speeding offences for use of courtesy vehicles).
Data Minimisation
Data minimisation is a principle that states that data collected or processed should not be held or further used unless for essential reasons clearly stated in advance. This is defined as information that is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which its processed. This approach represents best practice for reducing the risk of unauthorised access and maintaining customer trust. 
When processing and collecting data from our clients and customers we ask ourselves the following questions: 
 
·       How are we planning to use the data?
·       Is there a way of achieving the purpose without having to collect the data?
·       Does the individual know we are processing or collecting the data?
·       Does the individual know why we are processing or collecting the data?
·       How long will we need the data for to achieve the purpose? 
 If you choose not to give personal information
Please note that you are under no obligation to provide us with your personal information, but not providing certain data could prevent us from serving you, which could lead to cancellation of the service. 
Why do we need your personal data?
Lloyds Autobody processes personal data about you for a number of purposes, including:
 
·         To organise specialist repair functions such as system recalibration with contracted third parties
·         To follow up with you shortly after the repair to your vehicle to check everything is satisfactory
·         For internal record keeping (to be able to respond to customer enquiry and invoicing)
·         To make an appointment with you to assess the accident damage on your vehicle
·         For number plate recognition as part of our customer service and site security
·         To process payments by credit/debit card or bank account details
·         To remind or update you of progress or completion date
·         To provide our services to you as requested or agreed
·         To help us improve the services we offer

We may share your basic personal data, such as name, contact details, claim number and vehicle details with the relevant company you are connected with to provide the service you have requested. 
Limited personal information may also be made available to third parties providing relevant services under contract to Lloyds Autobody, such as vehicle specialists, engineers, auditors, compliance managers, insurance companies, IT hosting, and maintenance providers. These companies may use information about you to perform their functions in accordance with the services we have requested and contract terms agreed as part of our service to you. 
We may also disclose specific information upon lawful request by government authorities, law enforcement and regulatory authorities where required or permitted by law.
