Can any one tell me why the paint is smooth all over and a bumpy looking effect on the lower parts of the sides ?
If you\'re talking about an FD there is a stone chip protection film applied to the lower sides.
This might be why it looks rippled.

Yeh that\'s what I was referring too cheers mate. Is it removable then ?
Mines exactly the same, I thought it was just a bad paint job??
No, it\'s a rippled surface to make stone chips far less noticeable than that of a smooth surface. Compare the exact same bumper after the same miles and i guarantee the one with the stone chipped rippling will look in a damn sight better nick than the smoothed off one!

It\'s not on the bumper, as far as I\'m aware, just the sides of the car.
Oh? I thought it would have been on the lower lip of the front bumper as well, since it is on quite a few other cars. Eh, same applies still.
