Title: Spoiler colour
Post by: Roger on Friday,May 29, 2020, 08:07:04 AM

I have the front bib spoiler for my TC. It's off the car at the moment, for some minor repair work.
My car is red, the spoiler is black.
Question - should I leave it black, or paint it body colour? I've tried looking at photographs, but in most cases the spoiler is either invisible or missing.
Were they originally black?
Opinions please.

They were originally black.

They were satin black originally. I've seen some that were painted body color and it didn't work for me (probably because I don't see it that often) but to each his own.

Thank you gentlemen, Satin black it will be!
