Painted headlamp rubbers.

Think that is just the lighting or angle to be fair. Looks pretty good in the video to me!

[anonymous-user]

Its light reflection

I'm pretty sure John would've picked this up if it were the case.

If you honestly think painting over a headlamp rubber like that (very unevenly too as clearly evidenced by the enlarged photo lol) is in any way acceptable and the sign of a good paint job on any car never mind a premium one this says more about you than me chap.

It would be unacceptable to most folks on a £4k Fiesta.

It's the light! Watch the video. If it really is as bad as your screenshot I'm sure John would've seen it!!

You come out with some absolute belters from time to time

You've got to be trolling. There's no way you're that stubborn/idiotic.

Edited to add - I own a 12C, there is no rubber there. av185's comment was so daft I forgot the design of my own car

Mention a Porsche 911 and he'll wet himself with over exuberance of how fantastic they are and always will be but mention a McLaren and out come the knives.

Ah dear, just perhaps he is Dutch!?

[Turbo cab]

Is there now somewhere we can get McLaren paint codes from?

[RBT0]

It would have been better to watch the video properly before jumping here.

Plus, rubbers? Really? Lol.

I have seen people comment on grainy pics of paint many times on the web.

I posted a pic of a fresh respray on my Cagiva motorbike and some numpty said it had terrible orange peel....it was a fairly low res pic taken from a distance and the painter is more fussy that a bride on her wedding day...there was zero orange peel.

It's been quite some time since AV185 ventured into the McLaren section to take a dig.
