is there only one shade of race blue.

looking to put an 08 rear door on a 59 plate car.

also are the doors the same

its a vrs of course

Yes, but you can find slight differences between batches and paint on the car will change ever so slightly with time.

You might get away with it or you might notice the difference. Orange street lights are buggers for highlighting slight differences.

If it was a repair you'd probably find they body shop would want to spay the whole side to colour match.

they do.it might be cheaper to put another door on.that was my thinking

Yes there is only one shade of Race Blue and yes the rear doors are identical on the facelift and pre-facelift.

The door on the second hand pre-FL vRS will have sat through at least three summers so there is a chance that when fitted to a later car there will be a noticeable difference. It will be minor (if at all), certainly not enough for most to see (me included!).
