I used to have a Europa, and had a VX220T once...

running without undertrays will produce lift at high speeds and ruin the aerodynamics of the bottom of the car
The Europa doesn't have a full undertray, it finishes just in front of the engine, but does have a more aggressive rear spoiler than the VX

Found a post on here somewhere that mentioned Plasti-dip products so thought I would give it a go (I'm actually quite impressed with the results) but will have to wait and how long it lasts.
I have some other parts to do but here are the results so far..

Ooh I am just in process of retrimming my interior and was wondering what to do with those bits (am trimming main insert in alcantara).
How much was it an where did you get it from?
What kind of prep was needed?

From here Clicky no special prep just the usual for any paintwork
Just a word of warning when you spray it on it looks utter crud and orange peel, but don't touch it just let it dry and it smooths out to how you see in my pics.. (Must be something to do with the solvent)

I'll swap you
Looking good so far! I was tempted to do a Matt white wrap but thought it would be a pig to keep clean.
BTW I was only pulling your leg, white VXs look awesome!

Bit of rear wing placement -
Planning on bracing the wing with something,may be fabricating an Aero Support in the middle or may use a couple of Splitter Tie rods not sure yet.
Will see how the designs go..
