Factory facelift paint

[macas]

I have seen colourcoded bumpers and full black bumpers,i have also seen fully painted rear valances and just the bottom painted black,,,

How were they originally painted from the factory ?

Rear valence is body colour and black lower from factory.

Standard facelift cars had black bumpers. Colour coded bumpers were fitted to Lux cars, Tourings and most SE models.

Thanks lads....so the car im going to look at has a complete rear valance in white,so im thinking that it has either been replaced because of rust or a shunt,or just that someone didnt like the the lower black bit and painted it......

The owner said that its original from the factory..mmmmmm
