Default Guys..........

I had a misdemeanour with a Curb yesterday although not serious it scratched my splitter quite badly. Its in the paintshop now. Do you think just painting the bottom of it Blue along the swage line will look ok? Or should i paint the whole thing now?

Just a suggestion but why not have it masked up and leave just the apertures carbon, then it'll match well with the bonnet.

And Girls I was thinking of masking the line though the middle and having the top half Carbon still and painting the bottom where the scratch is. There is a swage line that goes round the side, at the side it goes up.

The lower middle bit cracked Darren. The bottom has to be painted its either all and leave the intercooler bit Carbon or paint the lower half. Hes painting Wednesday.

It would be a shame to paint the whole thing blue

In a similar style to that of your bonnet, spolier.

How about having the Prodrive graphic on the upper part by the cooler stenciled? So when its painted so its all blue but the Prodrive is left in carbon??

Just a thought

How would it look painiting the damaged/lower part in a 'carbon grey'.

From the casual eye, it would still look completely carbon, but you would have to be doing pressups in front to notice.
