did your company do the repair on it? as the spraying is pretty poor tbh, should have blended it back into the wings and bonnet etc

what are you talkign about painted on the car, blended into the wings with the same colour you used to paint the bumper.
silver shouldnt need to be blended but some pearl paints, metallics and certain solid colours do
of course you dont paint the bumper on the car lol

I would love one of these but that looks odd for some reason.
The SRi badges in a dodgy place don't work, and I hate the odd looking grills. No offence, just my opinion.

Right for a starters your all wrong
Its had bumper both wings and bonnet painted, and door blended, imo its just a dodgy reflection.

it definately looks badly off like a different paint has been used to the wings etc but plastic and metal dont take the colour the same esp if u look at for instance audis esp in silver the bumpers are a mile off from the panels

yeah i heard plastic makes the paint reflect differently, a decent bodyshop should be able to get it close though, that is far from even close
