Mismatched panel colour thread.

I had two new ( to me at least 20 years old) wings from a scrapper fitted to my car. Perfect colour match. You would have expected fading from sun exposure in 20 years to have made them quite different. In the 80s , I had a Ford Orion that had different colour panels due to fading from about 5 years old.

You can't see it very well here, by my Orion had the NSF door from a breaker's yard car, and the bonnet from a different one, plus a rattle canned wing/sill after I had a slight mishap

Oh and I got the boot painted at a body shop after I removed the lock

Mine was red, worst colour for paint fade apparently.

Saint-Louis, Senegal. The predominant yellow colour suggests this is a taxi.

Excellent! It’s barely even ‘predominantly’ a car any more! 😂

I love African vehicles, especially even older ones than that which are a proper mish-mash of various vehicles and you can play at guessing what they're cobbled together from!

I don't know if I keep seeing the same Peugeots, or if there's something about this blue/red combo that their owners like - but here's another

Due to a unfortunate failure with the door glass last month. ☹️ My Stilo has gained a silver door. Hopefully only as a temporary measure!

Seen a few days ago. No photo of the drivers side, but I can confirm that it also has two doors in the same shade of blue!
