Some of you my know i bought a vented bonnet for my car not so long ago,
The car went in for it to be fitted and painted last thursday along with the front bumper as it had a few scuffs.
The day i was ment to pick it up i had a call from the paint shop saying the paint code doesn't match the paint!
I posted a thread about it and got a lot of help (thanks) saying there was two different types of paint, I spoke to the paint shop and they said that its a bigger problem than that!
They sent the fuel cap off to some paint specialist who looked at it through a spectral analysis machine or something like that,
The result of that was that it was a Toyota colour????
So they sent that colour but it STILL didnt match!!!
So i have just gone down to the paint shop to see the car and talk to the guy,
I always knew the car had, had paint but when i got there he told me it had been totally resprayed!!!! in the wrong colour!!!
The only parts that hadn't been painted was the roof and in the door shuts,
its a pretty good match to the original colour just with a flick of green in it so i never noticed and neither did some other Legnum owners with the same colour car as mine who saw it.
So what was going to be a £500 bonnet and bumper re spray has turned in to a £1600 total re spray!! Bar the roof of course as thats original!
And as some of you may remember i was going to sell the car a little while ago, well not now, i'll be buried in this bast**d!!!
Unless some one wants to give me £5000 for it!!
This is how it looked this morning
