Yup it's paint guys
I was rear ended slightly so needed a new bumper, bootlid and the rear quarter redoing and the guy gave me the opportunity to change the colour, so, this is the result
I just paid the extra

i am going to better that!
i have two dumb questions.
1st. did you go to the bother of painting the engine bay aswell?
2nd. did you let the dvla/insurance know?

No, the engine bay wasn't done, too much hassle really, took 6 days in total!! I'm liking the black engine bay, with a blue/red/silver one it would look out of place!!
The DVLA and insurance both know, told them before I picked it up.
TBH I'm not worried about the value etc, I'm keeping her forever
They can't really fall in value much more!! And as Bonzee said, it was a lot less than 2k
