The paint finish on the Paris car looks poor in the photos in several areas , dashboard & front wings. Is that supposed to be a Hammerite finish on the headlamps?

Can't decide which end looks worse, but I reckon the back end wins. Are the trees around Malvern being bred to look like recycled Black & Decker power-tool carrying cases ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/04/30/Super-3-rear-end.jpg)

I thought that too but the finish on my 2009 4/4 Sport was just the same but my earlier Plus 8's have had a superior cellulose finish Is it a water based paint thing ? I think that alloy casting at the back end with woodgrain finish looks odd too - probably appreciated by the creatives though but to an engineer it has zero appeal and just looks unfinished a bit like where the waterfall grille should be at the front imho.

I don’t think that’s intended to be wood grain It looks to me like they’ve used a 3D print as the master for the sand cast It’s all going to look white and furry in very short order once it gets wet

Might be a good reason to wait for the 2023 or 2024 edition if a new buyer (the 2011 M3W was mostly sorted by 2014?).

Way too soon not even in production let alone being driven, 2026 would be the earliest.

I don't understand why they didn't put a front grille.
