So i am trying to decide what black to have my turbo spoiler painted I have Speedlinealikes, which are satin black, but wondered whether a satin black spoiler would look crap, assume MMG diffuser is going to be satin black ? any one got any pics of satin / gloss black spoilers, preferably on calypso NA thanks

Satin Black will look ace with the wheels and diffuser, go for it.

[chris_uk]

Diffuser will be satin black. You should do the spoiler glossy

When I get to my laptop I'll put some pics up for you.

[2kracing]

hmmm, not sure, yes pics will help! Just thinking maybe satin spoiler on gloss paintwork may look shite???

[ArticMonkey]

I have gloss black spoiler, difuser and tubby ears with gun metal alloys. I have seen a satin black spoiler on a VXR and it does look really good.

[2kracing]

still need to op over to you and check out the Supercharger at some point, is that still ok?

[ArticMonkey]

Yeah fine, just give me a shout.

[2kracing]

cheers will do I have a VSE too, so this is gloss black, well dirty black now, hmmmm, tricky decision....

[ArticMonkey]

[2kracing]

great pics think maybe gloss will look better on myn

[2kracing]

Just got a quote of £85.00 to paint the spoiler, prime and paint it gloss black, is that reasonable, seems a bit steep to me !

[G-Bob]

If that's including fitting then it's a bargain.

[2kracing]

No, doesn't include fitting, isn't that just a case of gluing onto the back and strapping in place, leave overnight, and job done!?

[2kracing]

So, finally got the spoiler painted and fitted, a long with MMG diffuser and Compomotives , really like the new look of the car, maybe looking at improving performance now, but few pics after managing to wax it today, in between rain!!!!

Looks awesome, identical to mine from yhe back bar the diffuser!

Just need to do your filler cap now and it will be spot on I did mine but it was a right sod getting the plastic bit of the fuel cap

[2kracing]

Thanks, yes might get the fuel cap done, although not that bothered, same with window surround and front V, think next Mod ( if any ) will be super charging, or i may keep as it is and get an Exige S, love to keep both, but doubt that's feasible!

[I 8 a 4RE]

Yeah window surround defo! But looks very good indeed!

[ArticMonkey]

Stage2 SC vx is lighter and more powerful than an Exige S. VX might not win for looks but £25k on a lotus or spend £5k on the vx and make it a track weapon?
