PaperWeight1 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 It may just be the lighting, but the tailgate looks a different shade to the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I'd say lighting and which panels are clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 It may just be the lighting, but the tailgate looks a different shade to the rest.see what you mean! that would just be the pearl though in the paint! its a really funny colour in different lights! in this pic for an instance the area on the boot circled was sprayed at the same time as the rest of the car so is 100% the same colour and it is blended further down the boot pic of masking thankyou for the comments and i will be carfull in the snow! going to be driving like a angel as it needs the cam belt changing and dont want to tempt fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clairey Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 just seen this pic of sam's loop which shows the same effect because of the pearl at different angles and light look at the boot and bumper colour difference to the car.....its a strange but lush colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 What about the washer jet covers? Do the jets work ok?Missing jet covers are a give away for a front ender, and yours now looks like it's been put together very well considering how straight the panels are. It'd be a shame not to finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
