    Yep, and Signums too! I've noticed it on a couple of facelift Signums I've seen - and they were other colours than black.

    Probably due the base surface that the paint is applied to and not many coats and thinner paint

    mine's silver lightning and suffers aswell

    it was when i went to get the lower spoiler colour coded that the guy in the body shop started pointing out all these bits that were a different shade.

    i bet if you were to look at the petrol cap it would be a different colour - it's all the plastic parts.

    The colour match on the front bumpers is deffo an issue on facelifts. My star silver is darker than the rest of the car.

    Having said that my mates metro blue Signum looks a good match.
