Mismatched panel colour thread.

This one's so good it gets three pics. Swapped bonnet, giffer dents, cracked filler and awful aerosol repairs, plus lacquer peel. Win.

I've been driving past this for a couple of weeks now. I thought I'd found new levels of base, I don't ever remember seeing a Matiz with plastic bumpers. I finally got up close to it today and they have actually rattle canned them black. 

I really don't know what's going on with the headlights though, even looking at them close up.

It's got cataracts, poor old thing.

Looks like the MOT tester didn't like the look in 2019:

 Front Headlamp light intensity severely reduced frosty lens (4.1.4 (a))

I don't know how people drive like that, I have to polish mine every few months, the difference in light intensity and pattern is noticeable. That must be like trying to see your way by candlelight

Reminds me of a chocolate lime

That wing isn't mismatched, it's the same colour as the roof!

Colour coded to the tyres too.

Had my MX5's rear arches done last year, since the whole car is to be painted at some point anyway I asked the guys doing the repairs to just throw on whatever paint they had lying around and not to bother matching it (since the rest of the paint is pretty scabby anyway). The result:

Found a few mismatched panels while searching for bad headlights.

An exercise in good taste and restraint

By pure co-incidence, it was outside Halfords

Sacre argent!

I think this actually looks quite good, at least from this angle.

Seems to be a common colour combo

[bunglebus]

Does this count?

Bonus green valance

Close, but cigar. Hard to tell but the wing's wrong too

Mismatched panel as was a large percentage of bodyfiller!!

[bunglebus]

Christ. Must have cost more in Isopon than the price of a new wing

[bunglebus]

Cool
