Oh yeah - make sure the paint colour is a good match for your particular car before you put it on, just because its factory sprayed doesnt neccesarily mean it will match perfectly with the paint thats on yours.

lol im a paint freak so ill check dont you worry,
ive buffed my car a couple times, and waxed it bout 8 times already. it COULD be a problem cuz my cars colour looks a bit deeper than when i bought it from ford.
might have to whack out the polish and wax for the new bit to make it same colour !!!
