What exterior bits are plastic on the R?

Post by 3t3p »

Doing my first detail on my bought used R.

Just wanting to check before I chuck on some Meguiars Plastx!

As far as I can see, the wing mirror caps are plastic, not paintwork?

As is the rear diffuser?

The rest I know as it's the same as my prev 122Ps.

Cheers:)

Really? It doesn't look like paint, the swirls certainly don't.

You're talking about the black ones on an R right?

The mirror caps are indeed painted base colour is gray / off-white. The diffuser is black plastic along with the front bumper grills.

Been through a car wash previously? The brushes would produce a strange swirl pattern on the top surface. MOPping should correct the surface if your careful.
