Hmmmm. Think I might go back to the dealer and question this. All makes and models of cars have been known to come in with damage at times, where they will send them to their shop, and "spruce" them up for the customer before delivery. If you could somehow link up with someone at your dealer who seems to care, I would try to show him, the best you can, the mis-match of color. From there, I don't know what to tell you. I doubt they would replace the car, but I would think SOMETHING would have to be done. After all, you paid for a NEW, UNMOLESTED vehicle, which, if it has been re-painted in any way, form, or manner, is no longer that. And if the shop did a sub-standard job on their "touch-up", who knows if this will last the test of time. In 5 years or so, that panel that they re-did may start to dull or craze earlier than the rest of the original paintwork, and the car will look like hell (and it will drop your re-sale value dramatically). Nip this in the bud early, if you have to, take your issue directly to MINI. You paid a good price for a product, and that's not what you received.
