Wings Different Colour

[revs]

A guy living near me pointed out that the wings on my Silver 172 Mk2 look a different colour to the rest of the car. Having studied them now (sad I know) I think he is right, looks slightly darker. Is this normal for some colour difference on the plastic wings, or has it been resprayed before I bought it (I got it from new)?

Im assuming your wings are carbon fibre, and therefore a different material from the rest of the cars paintwork. You may find that they are later or earlier than when the car was made... but whatever reason, its not right.

No its cos they are plastic wings and the primer and paint take differently to different materials

its nowt to worry bout they are all the same

The same thing occurs with plastic bumpers on any cars, not just Renaults, plastic seems differ ever so slightly!
