**updated** Spoiler color ?

Oltimer · 04-25-2021, 10:11 PM

I’m lookin at spoilers for my Vert I have a style in mind but deciding which color is a bit of a dilemma, do I go for body color, gloss black, or carbon fibre ? The car is estoril blue and already has a front lower splitter which is gloss black and the mirrors are gloss black and so is the interior trim, so opinions please.

Same thoughts here on my EB coupe. only difference is mirror caps are CF left over from my long gone 228. Hope we get some pics.

Depends on your body color what might look good, I thought carbon and gloss black would look good on white, had issues finding any decent on carbon fiber wings so I have CF on white but mine is not a vert.

Imo I think the gloss black might better on your car with the blue

IMHO...body color. Other contrasts just emphasize that the part was an add-on, and brings J.C. Whitney catalog to mind for me.

That name may not resonate in the U.K......FYI....

Heya!

Personally, I would match all the gloss black bits. It ties everything together nicely, and look factory.

With that said, my front splitter and side skirts/rear spats and MP rear diffuser are all matte black. Kidneys are gloss black, side mirror covers are carbon as well as my rear trunk spoiler. HAHA. So I don't match at all...

Good luck with your decision! Its always fun to have to decise on what color for new toys for the car....

Since you already have front splitter in gloss black, my vote definitely goes towards gloss black!

Oltimer · 04-26-2021, 11:50 AM

I think the obvious choice is gloss black, thanks for your views guys appreciate it.

Make sure you take pics for us once you get it on

leftoverture · 04-27-2021, 03:33 PM

Gloss black since you already have other bits that color.

Oltimer · 05-13-2021, 11:52 AM

**update**
I went for this spoiler in the end, It an R44 which matches the front splitter and of course I had to go for the carbon mirrors, that led to the grilles so went for carbon grilles too, so next on my list is LED rear lights, I have the 6 pin plugs just looking for a set of lights, I’ll keep you posted

Mogki · 05-13-2021, 01:33 PM

Looks real good all together like that nice work i'd say

Ajowhan · 05-13-2021, 03:41 PM

Sweet! Looks like carbon diffuser to complete the look and maybe a side skirt/blade

Diffuser then! Haha

Oltimer · 05-13-2021, 04:22 PM

😂 A diffuser is on my list but I want to do the rear lights first.

Ajowhan · 05-14-2021, 08:08 AM

Looks like we are bird of a feather

When I was looking to purchase my m240i and was looking at the 2017, the tail light conversion was my first mod planned

luckily found a 2018

It's actually quite tasteful. I'm not sure the gloss black would look as good on the Mineral Gray Metallic though.

Maybe not but carbon in gloss and on met grey would look real cool

Possibly, would be something to ponder if I wasn't trading it in next month.
