Default Calling All MY09 Berlina Black owners!

Hi y'all

Just wondering how your all getting on with your 09 BB paint colour? i was recently at the JAE talking with Tango, and it seemed obvious that the 09 BB appears almost a blue/black in the sunlight compared to an earlier model BB which looks a deeper black???

Just looking to see if anyone else out there has noticed this? or am I just a 'special' case

I still love my colour though, wouldn't change it for anything

Oh FFS!!!
Don't pile on more woes to the 09 owners.
We have enough to worry about under the hood



The NFR colours seem to vary from year to year also.

Probably ongoing changing EU regulations on the content on chemicals that make up the paint.



Edit- I should add, at the Herts meet some 3 or 4 months ago - the black and white meet ( with token Nurby ) looked amazing.

just enquiring Scott Lee said the 09's seem to have difficult paint when he works his magic on them

My Deep Burgundy was not exactly plain sailing either! But there is something amiss with it
