Is this a question you've always wanted to ask or something you've just noticed? I've had the car since 2007 and the bumper tops had already been painted before I got it, I just had them redone recently because the quality was poor. If they weren't painted when I bought the car then I would never have had them done but I quite like the car as it looks now and will stick with it. That said I think mine is one of the few colours that 850's come in that you can get away with colour coded bumper tops on without it looking ott imo I've seen a red one like yours colour coded and that looked hideous.

I have to say it was the colour coded bumpers that made the advert stick out when I originally was looking to buy one, I did umm and ahh a bit when I first thought about redoing them and MRP helped by photoshopping the bumper tops in the original colour a few years back, that was when I decided to stick with the colour coded look and now I'm used to it

Soon to be chrome and cream hoses under the bonnet with pink and grey on the outside, only joking. It's a good looking set up this car, I only hope you can keep hold of it for a bit as I doubt you'll find better if you do sell and then want to come back.

evening mike lol

The strips are staying original too, it would be too much on an 850 to colour code those as well, and then the handles, roof trims, door mirror bases and surrounds would look out of place
