More odd questions

So the question is, Is behind your front suspension struts the same colour as your car?

Mine arn't,
they don't look very well protected either :huh:
Mines a sort of whitish undercoat colour  :huh:





Your boot floor is it body colour?

Hey Snoopy good to see you got your car at last, but it kind of looks like they ran out of Shadow blue whilst painting it! I could forgive the boot floor but not the wheel arches and a pillars...  doesn't look right to me :huh:

Yes the paint looks similar colour to that as can be seen in my photos above.
|Im use to having silver cars so i probably would not have noticed the difference in that colour  :embarassed:
Oh and the video showing them fitting the grill, those are the screws i adjusted to get my grill to fit better yesterday.  :grin:

A couple of extra questions   :evil:

When i switch the ignition off theres 3 beeps (over about a 3 second interval) then a click from under the bonnet is that normal  :grin:

My xenons also don't seem to do the startup dance :grin:

Im starting to sound like James Gould :grin:
