It's not just the front lip. It's the whole front bumper. I was thinking that but it it was true the spoiler, skirts and rear bumper would be the same as the front. But for some reason only the front is noticeable. Yea sorry, i was meaning the whole front bar including lip is plastic - the bonnet and front guard panels are metal so the paint will look different shades as it is on two different surfaces side by side. i believe this goes with black aswell. my front bumper and skirts are the same shade, but abit off from the rest of the car. But it's the front that's most noticeable right?
