Anyone's bumpers a different colour?

Post by C17LJR »

May be a strange one, the wife's bumpers are a slightly different colour from the body. It's white so more noticeable.

Anyone had any issues with this? Gonna phone the dealers and see what they say but thought I'd see if anyone else has had this.

Thanks, Carl

Its very common on the candy white due to the way the primer reaction with plastic parts. Happens alot on red cars too.

Youll notice the fuel filler cap is also a slightly different shade

Yeah, was aware/suspected of it being due to the plastics versus the metal finish. Just seems to be way off.

Has anyone had any luck getting this sorted by the dealers before?
