   the intention is to buy this;
   
   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-CITROEN-S...25932833011305
   
   this is stating the same code as wicked red, but says lucifer rouge (or something) it looks the same colour, but i then saw this item and thought, thats not my colour

   do you think the wing will be a colour match with my wicked red?
   
   thanks

   It wont be an exact match anyway, there is always variation from parts sprayed at seperate times.
   The bumper could have had a resoray at some point and come out darker/lighter.
