davidv10 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As the title says, im after the fuel filler flap in Azure blue. Looks like mine has been resprayed and does not match the car at all angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don't think it has been resprayed IMO. I've seen a few Azure and most of them suffer the same issue, looks odd from different angle and doesn't match the car. Hence I think another filler flap will have the same issue.

coldel Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have seen this also on quite a few azures. I cannot remember is the cap plastic vs the wing being metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I remembered as well, plastic cap vs metal body work........not easy to get them to match. I'm assuming car manufacturers have sort of sorted this issue now but not 10 years ago.

Ekona Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I had mine respayed, and it was a perfect colour match to what was there before. By which I mean it didn’t match the surrounding bodywork at all Don't worry about it, it’ll never match ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Mine never matched either, you'll just have to live it I'm afraid. Looks fine from some angles but totally different from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahameJ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just get the flap resprayed by a good local painter. My didn't match either, although my car colour is Blade Silver. These days your local paint supplies shop should have a paint camera, so they can take a picture of the paint colour on the wing and mix the paint to match.
