Does anyone else have a problem with bad colour match between the bumpers (front and back) and the main bodywork.
I have taken it back to my main dealer and he says its normal and its because of the plastic of the bumpers and the metal of the wings!
I am not happy and will be taking it further but just wanted to hear if this is a none issue.
The car hasnt been painted before anyone asks and was supplied from a main dealer and is still under manufacturer warranty

All bumpers are a different colour the dealer is right !
 
I have a D white sl, and not seen any issues. Hope you get it sorted!
 
Painting on plastic material & metal will & does tend to look difference, even when painted from the same mix of paint. This is at manufacturer level & any Bodyshop will confirm this .
Most often it is of a subtle difference but just now & again you get the odd colour with more of a obvious difference.

I know it's not what you want to hear ...sorry.
