    I agree it is a nice colour, just a shame the bumpers aren't the same colour tho

    Bumpers sprayed silver or grey always seem to differ in colour to the rest of the car for some reason. Even brand new straight off the production line.

    I've had silver cars for a number of years now (tend to stay looking cleaner longer IMHO) and the bumpers have always been a slightly different shade to the body paint.

    EDIT - some of these links explain it.

    If you look close up to both bumpers there's runs in the paint, sanding marks and they used the wrong colour altogether as there's no pearl in the front bumper and the backs just the same tbh
