Hi guys,

So got my F55 Cooper S a week and a half ago which was actually a demo car with 3800km mileage. I know it was risky getting one but in Malaysia cars prices are ridiculously high due to taxes (a new one would've cost USD$62,000) <- ikr? I was got a pretty good discount and was sold after a test drive.

Anyway, I notice there's quite a color difference between the front and rear doors which stands out to me. (See attached photos) This in addition to a slight gap at bottom and top part of the same driver door when fully closed i.e. doesn't sit flush with the rear door.

Dealer says it's completely accident free that the discoloration could've been due to a some promo sticker covering the door or was parked in sun. Either way it's covered under warranty and I can take it in to respray anytime now or wait till first service.

My question is, should I get it re-sprayed or leave it as is since my concern is on color matching with rest of the car and quality/durability of aftermarket paint vs factory paint.

Appreciate your inputs!

Here's some pics of other side. So looks like a respray is the way to go?

Thanks for the inputs. I'll plan sometime to get it resprayed and hopefully get some good results. Thanks again!

Ok thanks a lot guys. The dealer called me just the other day apologizing for this. They want me to bring in the car for them to repair the door/paint. At least this time they offered a courtesy car.
