Color difference from front/rear bumper?
13-08-2019, 06:46 AM
I have noticed this quite a few times, but each time thought it was the tricky sun light causing it.
But it was pretty cold and dull today when i washed the car and still i see a difference.
but do you?
And if you do, is this normal? I wouldnt have thought so!

So your tuckin 15's, that's cute but come back to me when you get some proper size wheels
Yeah paint can look different on bumpers mainly Down to bumpers being made and painted at a different time to the car shell we do it at landrover the bumpers come in painted and then the shell gets painted after pretty sure most other companies do the same that's why when you see some cars like red corsas that are faded the bumpers tend to be ok and not faded bit of useless info for you lol
