Dealer supplied - pre-painted trim?

Noticed a few brand new white cars with coded sills etc, anyone know if this is done at the factory and these pre-painted parts can be ordered (guessing not!)

Ahh, you mean the ice cream van edition?? Laughing

The sills are only done once they get to the dealer, and mostly farm them out to the local body shop.
Some colours can carry it off, but IMHO White isn't one of them'

Bc is correct, mine was done at the factory, but mine is part of the Autobiography kit. And Codfather is also correct, some dealers get their own stock colour coded, siberian fox's car was one of them but had no end of trouble with panels coming loose paint peeling and way off colour match Whistle But that was down to the bodyshop not knowing what they were doing and foxy's colour was a brand new colour. Unless you know a very good bodyshop i'd opt for factory colour coded everytime but that means ordering a new vehicle Thumbs Up
