Default Different Red's

I've just really noticed that the bumpers and side skirts are different colour red to the body work.

Should it be like this or would I have a case with DC to have it sorted.

Is it that the non-metallic parts are different color than the metallic parts?

YES, I've just noticed it recently cos the sun has been shining for the first time since I brought it.

Alabaster's don't suffer from this problem :P :P :P

I know it's hard to match color on two different types of wood.... I imagine it's just as hard with car parts. I'm surprised D/C would choose a color that has this problem though. I wonder if anyone else with Red has noticed this :?:

Default Fading Red Paint

I've just had mine for two weeks and have put the second coats of polish on the paint. I did check for the fading on my red paint on the bumpers but everything is matching up correctly so far.

You may want to take it back to the dealer and have them expain it to you. It may need a repaint to match them up again (Yikes!).

Sadly, the State wants to bobby-fy our windshield visual. Keeps you from seeing the troopers

Nice shots of the car. Gotta lose that front plate! Bureaucrats are obviously not car people.
