You could be onto something there, missing a door strap, could do alot of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be Glacier white might be some other white as it looks a bit bright for glacier, but that could just be the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Do remember quoting a paint code for a white hatch, and they said which one, there was two listed for that paint code, one was more brighter, other had alot more yellow in it, highly confusing.

Also seen this car somewhere before and I'm sure like evo says someone had asked about the white paint codes in the non too distant past.

He sold that to us (and nearly killed us) and bought that (in the link above) thinking it would be the easiest thing to maintain - sadly it wasn’t so he sold that one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
