ChrisUUC Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Need some advice on this. Hoping to head over this week and pick up an 06 facelift zed in this colour. Just wanted to get something cleared up. I love the colour but is there any issues of the plastic and metal elements of the cars body not matching colour wise. Like an obvious mismatch? In the pictures etc hes sent me there doesnt seem to be a difference its just I think i remember over hearing someone saying that the plastic and metal can be way off colour wise ... Just need this clarified ... Cheers guys! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisUUC Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 No no 19000 on the clocks from a dealer all original as far as im aware. Youd think in the facelift model they would have tried to correct this ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Twilight Grey was a MY07 colour only so if this is a 2006 car it is actually Gunmetal Grey. As for the actual question, most Zeds have fuel filler flaps etc that don't seem to match in some lights. Its worse on some colours like Azure but its just the Nissan crap paint.

ChrisUUC Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Sorry I mean gun metal grey ... anyone care to upload some images to show me whether they feel it does or doesnt please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Anyone care to shed anymore light on this for me ... pictures of users actual GM cars (facelift) would be a big help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Try the Gallery. There will be GM cars in there. I doubt there will be any difference in pre-MY06 and MY06 cars as the paint is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Was there much of a difference in your twilight grey coupe when you had it? Will check out gallery now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember noticing it more on my Blade but maybe I'd just got used to it by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Its noticable on mine when its all clean and waxed in sunlight, all of the plastic parts are a slightly different shade to the metal under the light! I think its normal and just down to nissans paint match...I only notice it in direct sunlight though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
