I'd say sealant or sound proofing, or perhaps they got bored when making it and decided to make it look like a paint by numbers lol.

i got this on my Fiesta, not sure what it is so would be interested to know. i though it was a sealent my self. mine tho looks like it was painted over to the colour of the car too....stange!

looks a bit like 'denzo' tape.

It's found in most cars, if u have a rear end shunt this stuff is used as a guide to the amount of damage. If its cracked then technically it's a write off.

Oh that's interesting to know. :).

Something as basic and pretty useless as tape, used for something so important :-p

Definitely have it in my MK2 and according to my mate who owns a C##sa, his car has it too.
