does anyone know what the exact colour my car is? as i want to spray bumpers and that i want it same colour as car but you get all different shades of white, any help please?

your not really gonna get exactly the same color unless you spray all the car coz the paint allready on is most likely faded

but have a look at this it tells you how to find your color code and then what color each code means

whites probly one of the worst colours to try and match, its never gona match 100%

what does everyone think? all comments welcome

dont look bad mate, what you still got to do to it now then? and you got a closer picture of your rear bumper? just want to see how it looks smoothed but your rear end does look very tidy tho like the exhaust and the outside temperature sensor is that small plug thing found just behind the bottom of your front bumper, should be clipped into a small plastic mount.

looks sound m8,
but did u put any primer on ur bumpers?

yeah i stole the one from my brothers car lol, and its not the best just quickly done with filler and painted lol, but will get a pic up soon buddy, yeah got from my uncle for nothing makes a good loud sound lol, and need to paint the boot and some other bits, get rid of the overspray, motd this week or next hopefully my fan isnt kicking in the now bridged it and it worked perfectly, what sensor or switch can it be? and all together on the car ive spent about 160/170 including gettin the car......
