It matched edge to edge - we were very surprised & thought the quarter panels & osf wing may have to be blended. The sprayout cards looked terrible so Dave, who painted it, said we may as well just go for it & see what happens. He painted the bumpers first & we fitted the rear one which looked ok in the shop and that usually means it will be a mile off out in the daylight but it wasn't.
It makes a nice change for something to be straight forward

Since having my bumpers done they look ok when its dull but when the sun shows its face they look way too green

All of the work has most certainly been worthwhile on your car! Odyssey Blue is a very attractive colour, and the whole car looks excellent now. Your wheel upgrade will look lovely!

The latest modification has now been carried out on the front of the car & I am very happy with it

What a time consuming job filing out the holes for the washer jets is - still worth it though.

The Xenons look so much better, particularly with the headlamp wash! Looks lovely now!
