I was having a laugh with the mechanic in the shop about this very thing. I
told him someone would be asking me that question.
Yes it is all original, the car has never been painted or damaged (other

tomorrow, including the BLACK PAINTED AREA WITH THE BRUSH MARKS.
It has definitely been painted by a brush, and is a flat black colour.
