Calling all titanium 182 owners

[Harry Botter]

In sun light, my bumpers are a slightly lighter shade to the rest of the car and also the front wings don't quite match. Is this cos these bits are plastic? Does any one else have this problem? Owned car from new so know it hasn't been resprayed.

Seen a few in pics where it looks like, I wondered if it was just the light catching the angles of them.

Like you said it could be because there plastic, but them this should apply to the valences to.

My front wings look the wrong colour but thats how they all look on the silver 182s.

mine look fine......

Yeah I think its just the texture difference between plastic and metal. After polishing my car, I find the rear bumper looks slightly duller than the rest

Mines the same. It looks worse under strret light lamps. I've had my car from new and I thought it had been crashed and the dealer had tried covering it up until i'd seem a few others with the same problem. To be honest it annoys the F**k out of me. I would have never of got the colour if I knew it would be like that. It does not seem to be like that on other makes of silver cars. I personally think its really poor how Renault think thats ok.

Never noticed it on my 182 (or the current car) but a friend mentioned it just before I sold it. Sure you guys aren't being too fussy

I'm not really that fussy but maybe its more noticable on mine. It's always parked under artificial light so maybe cos I notice it all the time it annoys me more. Definatly would have brought a different colour. There are 2 silver 172's in my works car park (I think I started a trend as there were no renaultsports when I got mine!!) and they look the same as mine all diferent shades of silver.

I did, and its exactly the same as mine. Look at the picture of your car on the red tarmac, second row down. Your front wings stand out a mile. Also second row from bottom, middle picture. Again the wings look like they've been paint matched at B&Q.

I can see it on your car too. Your rear bumper is different shade. to the rest of the body work.
