Hi,
I had my 2010 Mini One bonnet resprayed last week (It’s Chilli red) The bonnet is noticeably lighter than the rest of my car. I did mention it on collection but was told it was the age difference – ie the original panels look slightly darker as they are older. Is this something I need to accept or should I ask the garage to have another look at it?
Any advice would be extremely welcome!
Thank you so much
Lady J
