Yeah, but what colour is it, this
or this,
I that all you've got on it? You might as well be asking whether it has black tyres or grey tyres.
Calm down, it was just a light hearted reference to 'photoshop filter culture'.

I think it's more to do with the quality, and user settings, in digital cameras. Especially those in smartphones.

Ah yes, a deal breaker. You've now cancelled your bid I presume?
Never said it was. I've just pointed out that the left rear bumper section is squint, I have made no comment as to whether I think it's important, irrrelevant or otherwise, you are the one making the presumptions.

Do you really want to go there? I guess it would get you away from the mess you've got yourself into here.

What mess?
I can't speak for anyone else, but I honestly don't know what way your comments want to take us. There's nothing dodgy about the paint on the car and it's just one of those colours that looks different depending on lighting and CCD, just like #920 Safari Gold.
Now you change focus (although the pixels can't cope) to the rear bumper, but what does "squint" mean in this context? Do you want to point out that the bumper is not mounted correctly, or that the rubber trim is p*ssed?
You're just making stuff up now. I never said that there was anything dodgy about the paint, I made a comment about the different colours in the pics and fully explained this in my next post 'a light hearted reference to 'photoshop filter culture'. I never ever said there was anything 'dodgy' about the paint. The only reason that I ' changed focus' as you call it was that I had fully explained my point about the colour so it was no longer relevant to the discussion. The point about the bumper was in reply to your statement 'Is that all you've got on it', you asked a question, I gave a reply, what's the problem. You're the expert you tell me whether it's the mounting or the rubber or the camera angle.

So you think one or both of the photos in your first post have been photoshopped, or what? I'm saying it's just an awkward colour, differing conditions and - more technically - camera can't cope.

Quite likely all three, but if you go round any of these cars - including the so-called 'Franklin Mint Car' that sold for a high price on Bring a Trailer a few weeks back - you can find all sorts of stuff to nitpick.
I wasn't nitpicking, I was answering your question.
The answer in post 6 was 'the left rear bumper section is squint' (Well, implied by this pic),
in reply to your ' is that all you've got on it?' post 3.
