Difference in colour on bumpers?
Hi... I noticed a while back the bumpers and lights on my car (have the split headlights) are a slightly different colour to the bonnet and rest of the car. I think it's getting a little worse actually, almost look cream (car is white!)
I'm guessing perhaps when the headlights were sprayed the front bumper may have been done again, but has anyone else noticed colour difference between body parts? Wondering what they're made of as well, thanks.
I'll try to get a decent picture if it helps to show what I mean!

I had a door resprayed but in certain light conditions it looks a completely different colour. I don't think there is many paint shops that can get the colour match perfect to 10+ year old paint! I'm gonna buy a second hand door in the original colour. Cheaper option!

Why would you have your headlights sprayed!? A pic would help.

Regarding your door, I wouldn't be too hopeful of getting a decent match, unless it's a darker colour. I bumped my car a while back, got replacement parts, same paint code and age car, and they are noticeably different.
