Parking Ticket Help Needed

Hiya All,
Over easter I was staying with friends in Stoke and parked outside their house. On Bank Holiday monday I came out to find a parking ticket on my windscreen (the street has a residential parking scheme). Having checked the parking signs it turns out my friend was wrong when she said it'd be fine to park there as the signage says monday to saturday (nothing about bank holidays).
Now I do feel a bit hard done by on this. The reason being that everyone in her street has a residential badge and a visitors badge... but the council have only sent her the visitors badge (despite that she applied for both) obviously the visitors badge was in her car. If the council had done their job properly she would have had the residents badge and the visitors badge would have been in my car hense no ticket.
Now the details on the ticket are correct except for the colour of the car. On the ticket the colour is listed as silver... my car is a flat non metallic red. There is no way in any light it could be described as anything other than red. Could I use this error to get the ticket overturned?
As always any help / advise gratefully recieved.
