Spoiler decision

Post by A1ex » Sun Feb 19, 2012 2:25 pm

So, I have a mid line type s spoiler which has been sat in garage for about 6 months. Decided I'm going to pull my finger out and put it on the lude, however, what I can't decide is if I should paint it silver or leave it white? Opinions please :)

Edit: pictures would help!

interesting idea because i always like the look of darker bonnets and spoilers on lighter cars ie carbon etc,
but looking at these pics i quite like the look of the white spoiler tieing in with the wheels :) plus always good to be different :)

Guy on PUK was selling it a few months back when I had some money so snapped it up. Can't remember his name now, Mrs totalled his type-s in Greece (I think it was)

Glad I could help :)

I think the white looks quite good with the wheels in the first couple pics, not sure about it in the pics with the whole car tho

i would colour code it to the car atleast that way you can change the wheels for any colour or be stuck with white wheels only.
