I had the same problem with my first MINI Cooper - dark silver, when I got the car home from the dealer I noticed an area of overspray on the side skirt, when i moved back from the car to view from a distance there was an obvious mis-match in coulour between the door panel and front wing. I took this up with the dealer who informed BMW GB and the car was duly inspected. BMW GB confirmed that the door panel had been resprayed, very poorly, at the factory. The dealer then offered to respray the door under warrenty, a solution I was not at all happy with until I saw the finished result - believe me the repair was perfect and the finish was as good as the factory - or in this case far better!
