Hi,

I've just bought a 1997 124 cabriolet.

It has very little wrong with it but needs the bumpers painting to deal with a couple of scuffs.

On the earlier 124's (the estates I used to own anyway) the insert 'pad' part of the bumper and the blocks at the bottom of the doors were painted in matt lacquer. To the eye it looks like the whole lot on my car are in gloss.

Did this change for the cabriolet's or for later models or has someone painted this incorrectly in the past?

Thanks in advance.

Love 'em.

This isn't my daily driver, just a car for the summertime.
