Cool Ve Front Gaurds !! Food For Thought!

BIT OF food for thought here . did you know the front gaurds are plastic or carbon fibre. development is development. BUT. have a look at your fords bumper bars, some colours have a huge missmatch . the EYE IS used to seeing a missmatch on bumpers as lower panels reflect road surfaces and differant light etc etc. but how about a missmatched body panel , like a front door to front gaurd .
it is impossible to match paint for steel with paint on plastic for a number of reasons . one being plastic paint has to be more flexible than steel paint. another is plastic reflects BASE light differently to steel. etc etc .
now somethings spring to mind its hard enough to repair damage and match paint of a same substance to a panel. it will be interesting to see a VE after an accident repair.
most cars with plastic front gaurds have a purpose 2 tone . coluor scheme ///////??????????????????????????? :
