my doors are a different colour!

[jpcibiza90]

think my doors been re sprayed, no signs of overspray anywere though, but its a different red! wonder how much it would cost to fix or shall i just live with it?

Dident think too look at this before you baught the car?

 

[malky39]

it could just be fadeed i.e the doors have been sprayed with the right colour its just that the rest of the car has faded over time, red cars are known to fade

One of several reasons I chose a black one 200miles away rather than a newer red one about 5 miles away. Black looks better anyway

How long have you had the car? As said if its that noticeable did you didnt ask? I know its diffciult not to get excited about buying a new car so if it wasnt overly obvious the easy to miss i guess.

I rememver getting my old alfa 156 resprayed after it took a knock it was proteo metallic red which was fantastic but the garrage managed to blend it to a nice shade of pink at the end! Needless to say I switfty took it back.

Red is faster however

please give us your theory on this

 

[Leigh15]

It's not a theory, it's a fact.

Black --> Red!

 

[jpcibiza90]

well i was probably a tad excited and i only really noticed under some bluey lookin lights at the shell petrol station but now iv noticed it i notice it more if u get me. iv only had it about 2 weeks.
if it keeps bugging me il sort it,

oh and if i had kept my old pug it would have been 3 bright red cars on the drive!

had my first race with a Bertone astra coupe 2.2 the other day! i wont tell u the result

 

[jpcibiza90]

iv just put a few pics in my album if u want to spot the difference in colour..

Not hard mate, your old car was...

and anything was quicker than that

It's not a theory, it's a fact.

Good man

Black --> Red!

Well its only fair we try it out, so you have a black MK4, and I have a red MK4, lets go to a track day and find out

 

[Mat]

both need to be standard though, and have same (unbiased) driver.

someone like the Stig

 

[jpcibiza90]

some say he has robotic legs and only drinks petrol, others say he has six eyes, all i know is its the STIG

OK by mats own rules my standard Ibiza FR TDi with a mere 8v's against Alex's Ibiza 1.2 with a huge 12v's

I am placing bets already

 

[Mat]

same car. EVERYTHING the same, just not the paint

 

[T. Spark]

Thats not what you said. Besides red is faster due to the mixture of a solid colour being lighter than that of a met. paint option, you get more paint with black (hense costs more) and inturn weights more.

So a red car is infact lighter, and therefor quicker.

ha ha ha ha

was waiting for that reply

love it!

guess that's why all/most ferraris are red
