Loved the panther black, better than the red ordered, managed to negotiate some freebies and service package for accepting the gorgeous black - then the next day and on closer inspection, and in direct sunlight, the nearside wing and cill looked grey-ish, after much fallout with the dealer :evil: - who, get this, blamed me to begin with :o , the paint was checked by a technician who's report concluded that on many areas of the car the paint was on the thin side, and on the wing and cill it was "starved of paint" - the car was rejected, which would be hard today if its because of a fault, but back then it was a nightmare - the dealer at one point wash their hands of the situation and had to deal direct with the manufacturer - can you imagine if a dealer did that today - new replacement finally arrived a few weeks later following a month of fallout - but in the end, so annoyed with the whole debarcal - sold it soon after with less than 1k on the clock, after a good 2.5 v6 thrashing of course :P .
