Hey guys, i picked this item up a while back, and hadn't had the time to take it to a shop. When i received it i was a bit disappointed, there was a crack/chip in it and also a few scratches, however shipping was fast.

I took it to concord customs who were very friendly and helpful, did a great job for a great price. However one thing that has worried me is when i went to pick up the car today, the person there asked if i had been in an accident or if i had had the car from brand new because he pointed out the rear bumper was a darker shade of grey as if it had been resprayed.

I'm about 100% sure it was not like that before, i'm guessing they sprayed the rear bumper to colormatch the lip to it....it's subtle but it is sorta noticeable. sigh~ what do you guys think?

its got some tape holding as bracing on it right now, will take pics of it later.

Most of our bumpers are a slightly different colour to the rest of the car. Plastic takes the paint differently to the metal.

you, sir, are my new best friend haha i was really down about it, like i felt violated, but what you have said does sorta comfort me. i'll take a better look later. how's the teins? i want to get them but i'm scared for my shocks

anyone else have opinions or can back up what draevon said??

many thanks

You should see our Dark Blue outlander in the Sun. The Plastic bits are more purple than blue in the sun.. lol...

thanks for the responses guys, i think it was just a psychological thing

No worries.

TEINS are awesome. No strut issues as yet, but I do scrape from time to time. That's the price you pay

My front and rear plastic bits are a darker shade of red than the rest of the car too ... more noticeable at times ... depending on the light.
