good to hear the fuel filler shutter locks with car is locked candyman2, I thought it was purely mechanical so the flap opens when a right sized nozzle is inserted at all times.
with the paint, not too noticeable being a dark colour and havent had a chance to take pics to show you guys yet.
if you look at this pic of magenta's silver fiesta, you can see a diff shade on the whole rear door which is diff to the rest of car:

I still find this acceptable given the price of car and the features you get with it, it's only when you resell the car down the track some buyers might not believe it never had panel work done on the car. If you have a look at a number of new fiestas on the yard in various colours you'll get an idea what I mean.
paint has great lustre and orange peel is better than most Euro cars, and much improved over the German built Focus XR5 where the early build ones in silver I have seen have excessive orange peel and patchy on the horizontal surfaces esp the bonnet.
