Default Firesand owners : paint consistency

Question for other Firesand owners - does the plastic nose sometimes look a different shade of orange? There are times I'd swear the nose cone does not match the bonnet - indeed, more often than than not.

Unsure if it is just the nature of the different materials and their paint handling or it is as real issue.

I remember it being said on the Factory Tour that the bumpers were supplied to the factory ready painted and assembled.

Might explain it.

Nope, never thought my bumpers were a different shade and my front one has paint protection film on it!!
They did have to change my drivers side wing mirror cover because it was a different shade though.

On mine, everything is consistent except for the door handles, which read a little darker than the rest. I kinda like it though.
