I have an A3 2004, brilliant red metallic i think the colour is called.
I have only had the car for a week and yesterday when i was sitting 30 meeters from the car i noticed that there are a different shade of the red on the bumpers than on the rest of the car. First i got affraid that my car had been in an accident and that the rear bumper had been re-painted but i can see the same phenomena on the front bumper as well.
Worried that this was limited to my car only i started to search the net for ads with pictures on similar cars. As i can see, the same difference is noticeable on several cars that i found pictures on. I have attached some pictures for you to see. Some might say that its the light playing a trick with us but on my car i can quite clearly see it in normal daylight. Its like the colour is more glowing on the metal parts of the car while its more dull on the bumpers that i guess are made in plastic?
Has anyone else noticed this on his/her car? Look closely on the pictures and i think you also will notice the difference. Its most visible where the bumper part of the body meets the side of the body, just infront and below the rear lights. ´
