R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 5m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 22/03/10 07:58 AM Share Posted 22/03/10 07:58 AM Every plastic panel on my car has a yellow tinge to it, and is a different colour to the body. I've sent photos to FPV and they're requested that I go to a dealership so that they can deal with it properly. Looks like they'll have to respray my whole body kit to match the rest of the car. Ego looks good but whoever sprayed the bodykit on my car is f*cking colour blind!

Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 22/03/10 11:35 AM Share Posted 22/03/10 11:35 AM Plastics on every Ego I have seen, inc mine, do not match the body paint..They are painted off the car at the point of manufacture, different paint batches, etc, etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66556-ego-paint-colour/page/2/#findComment-993736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send the photos to FPV and they want me to come back next week and show a whole bunch of guys from FPV. They're all coming out to 'investigate how they could possibly let such an error in paintwork get through quality control.' lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66556-ego-paint-colour/page/2/#findComment-994583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arm79 Donating Members 214 Member For: 16y 2m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/03/10 12:32 AM Share Posted 26/03/10 12:32 AM Sounds like good old Ford.Had the same probiem with my Force, as you can see below.Mine was more of a greeny/yellowy tinge.Ford denied the claim straight away saying it was within acceptable limits.I bitched until the agreed to respray all the plastics. Cost Ford $3250... You think they would do it properly in the first place.Have found out since that the platics are painted offsite at Venture Plastics, using different brand paints. So there would never really be a chance to match it.So keep on complaining, they will give in.
