The body repair looks to be a good job but £800 .............. :pinch:

Is it my eyes or the way the light is on it but that rear arch and 1/4 panel look a different colour to the door

Could of used the wrong shade... Under one paint code is several if not more shades which have a tiny bit more black or a tiny bit more yellow etc etc

If they haven't used the correct shade it will look different.... That's why a good body shop will "blend" into the next panel

This hides the fact that its a slightly different shade

If it bothers you send it back... for 800 quid your owed a flawless job...

Yeah, the sun/dust/wear probably make a difference when comparing old paint to new paint. I'll see after giving it a wash, but honestly I didn't notice any difference in real life.

Fortunately, it was the insurance who paid; for 800 quid, it would have definitely been LR flares and rock sliders imho :-)

BTW, most of the price above wasn't labour and paint... but the two genuine plastic panels. Sheesh!

Hopefully it's the light :-) the quarter panel wasn't painted (metallic part of the body) ; just the plastics.
