as expensive but damage done is not that extensively..

 

repaint to another colour will need to update LTA if I'm not wrong.. and also bring down the resale price.

LTA change of color update is an easy 10 sec job on the internet.

 

Rightfully, whether it is stick on or a real paint job, a change of color update is required. this is for security purposes.

IIRC your car can have max 3 different colours, so you can declare black & yellow to play it safe. :D

Yes, the log card printed out from LTA's website will indicate the car's original colour.

 

But if you repaint ur car after an accident into the original colour, there is no way a normal buyer will be able to tell unless they send the car for paintwork investigation.

This reminds me of those matt-black vehicles that I've been seeing lately.

 

It appears that they are actually putting on a layer of sticker. Seems like a good idea. Protect the orignal paintwork as well [thumbsup]

 

 

Actually, this is not new.

 

Many Lambos and quite a handful of WRXs have been turning mattblack since a while ago...

bumper dent can wack the thing out again mah.. unless its too badly damaged or it affected your mounting if not just bring to a paint shop and have it fixed.... might not need to change the entire bumper.
