I wonder what happened here. I would have expected the front panel to be red too if the panel swap is due to a front end shunt.

The mismatched colours emphasise how ridiculously large the headlamp units are on these IMHO.

They've changed something in the Matrix . Mostly the colours

I always wonder when I see a close but not exact match, whether someone had a "bollocks" moment when they realised the car in the breakers wasn't quite the right shade...

O/S wing in same shade; appears to be contrived but can't be sure.

Pretty sure this isn't how they came, although I think it looks great.

I'm sure* there's a SCENEYO thing going on; driver's side is identically mismatched.

A wonderfully mismatched Granada estate I owned circa 1997 to 2004. Note the blue left wing.
