dont I tell you I wish we had gone to some one like you 3 companies ago! Been a bad year!!!!
Any way yes basically magento you have several product listing options. Standard listing (simple) just one product format. Then when you have several of the same items like we have different colour nail polishes. you have to list all your individual colours as a simple listing. For instance:
We have 9 colours in a range so we will have 9 simple listings (well 10 as we have the buy all colours option) so then you then do another listing but as a grouped item and then you then add all your simple listings to this. it will then list them all as you see in the example I showed you.
But we want the colour from each of those single listings to go next to the colour option (title from each single listing)
just like

if you look at the side you can see all the colour options tha they have well in the admin area each colour option will be a simple listing where information is taken from.
I contacted the web guy for them and he told me

That one was tricky for me too Here’s what you need to do.
First, when creating the simple products under main image add the image of the color you want to display.
Then, after adding the simple products to the group product, go to your templates folder, and edit /catalog/product/view/type/grouped.phtml
You will need to add an image on each row, next to each product. The url for the image can be computed like this:
$url = trim(Mage::getModel('core/url')->setType('media')->getHostUrl(),'/');
$url .= Mage::app()->getStore()->getConfig('catalog/images/product_upload_url');
$url .= $_item->getStockItem()->getProduct()->getData('small_image');
But this has me lost and I cannot find anyone one magento forum that can tell me what this means!
Does this help
Thank you by the way for your time
