polarbear Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Have a chat to Dave @ Marshalls. What about your washer jet covers? Are they a good match to the bumper too? I guess the whole lot got resprayed when the kit went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonD Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Have a chat to Dave @ Marshalls. What about your washer jet covers? Are they a good match to the bumper too? I guess the whole lot got resprayed when the kit went on. Front bumper was done by the place in Sunderland, rear parking sensors by Marshalls, tbh I haven't seen any issue with them. One thing I did notice with the paint is the difficulty there is in getting panels to fully match up, don't get me wrong the kit looks amazing but Orange in general is a poor colour to blend in cleanly. I was speaking with Tom from Paintshield who said that his two orange cars (Boxster and Focus ST) had issues with panels not matching 100%, it kind of depends where you're standing and looking.

My orange car is fine. I think panels are hard to blend when panels next to each other are different materials. I had that on my UY as the Nismo front bumper was slightly different to the other panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 That's cos the paint is so ****ing thin. My Celica was 5 - 7 layers of silver. I can see metal on the fender from two chips on MY07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
