Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It looks like colour matching with a chip paint of sorts will not work and probably look pants... Getting a whole new PCM unit seems over-kill and I've seen several cars online with different coloured surrounds so wondered assuming this isn't just a factory option has anyone changed the facia colour of have any recommendations ?
