Having read an issue about the colour red on the 500, I thought I would raise an issue I have.
I have a 2013 268/A Sport. Its been in an accident so I am replacing panels. It needs a new door which I purchased. I purchased a 268/A white door salvaged from a 2015 model. Never had an issue with other 500 for white panel matches.
The door has been put on, but its not an exact match. The door appears more white, when compared with other panels. Now, the car and the door have not been repaired at any point so thats not the issue. The car had gardx applied it would seem when first registered.
So my question:
Does the two years (between 2013 & 2015) cause a colour fade to the white?
Has gardx caused a colour fade to the paint work?
Would you expect panels with the same colour to be noticeably different? Because from experience I've had no issues with 268 before.
Thanks,
Alex
