I had my boot lid spoiler area damaged in the frost when a piece of brick fell off my chimney. Anyhow I had 2 choices - bodyshop or vRS spoiler. I opted for the spoiler option then got burned by Superskoda by not buying what I thought I was buying. The result is I have a spoiler that needs painting. The question is: white to match the car (but they tend to be unnoticable then), gloss black to contrast the white and match the A & B pillars, or satin black to match the roof rails? Holding the shabby un-prep'd spoiler against the car which is a patchy dark grey/black I think the contrast idea is quite bold and a little retro but I'm uncertian as to whether it will look cheap. Opinions please chaps

Thanks in advance

black imo

Why not. Nice and unique.

I like the satin idea break from the crowd

i think i would go for black as for superskoda i orderd a rear spoiler in the photo on the site it was black when it came it was cream

ready for painting not to botherd aim haiving all the stuff colour coded eny way but go for black

Black sounds like a plan

Not skilled enough to do shiny to emulate a gloss finish but hopefully of help with your decision.

Personally, I'd stick with the white on the estate, although I have pondered getting just the spoiler on my hatch wrapped as I've not opted for the black roof.

its got be black matchers the rails and wheels go for black black ok pete

Thanks for the replies. I am going to go with satin black and see how it looks partly because I think it will be ok and partly because it is the easiest colour to spray at home and get an excellent finish. If I don't like it I can simply rub it back a little and stick a few coats of gloss black on. I'll post pics afterwards.

I decided to have a go at gloss black in the end and the results have exceeded my expectations. The finish I got after a bit of work was well worth the effort. Problem no.2. I attached the spoiler using 3M type double sided foam tape which was tricky as it has an instant grab but got there in the end. However it has now had a full day in direct sun (having spent a few days out of it) and has got hot enough to start to lift so I plan to remove it and refit using tigerseal polyurethane adhesive. Anybody any experience of using this?

Cheers
