How many colours of white?
Evenin'
Simple question, How many shades of white are there on a 98 S/V70. The thing is I'm looking to replace the bumpers on my S70 and theres a white S70 at the local breakers with mint bumpers, dint want to buy em' and find they dont match. If theres more than one colour white, where can I find the paint codes? Cheers, Ant.

The best way would be to hold them up against your paintwork.
Failing that, never clean them so the colour doesn't matter |

With many car manufacturers each paint code can encompass a wide shade range, which is why bodyshops have to mix paint to match your vehicle.
I remember my old MkI Astra was a metallic blue, and the Vauxhall bodyshop had a set of colour cards with about a dozen shades of that one colour. It was a case of them picking the nearest one for the formula and then fiddling with it if it wasn't quite right. Once you take ageing/fading/weathering into account you're heading towards the piece of string question. However, if they are mint then I'd grab them then budget for about £80/bumper to get them blended to your shade.
