spoilt for choice
Currently got the pram handle spoiler off. It's red same as the car and same as most it has bubbled on the corners, where the paint and fiberglass have argued.
I will mend the hollows where the bubbling has been and rub it all down. Now here comes the question. I have some plastic and fiberglass friendly paint, but it's in 1/2 sheen black.
I intend to repaint the window surrounds with it, but what do you think about doing the spoiler as well ?
I can't make my mind up whether it will enhance the black round the windows, the rubbing strip all round and the splitter at the front . Or just look bollocks.

I think that would grate on the eye after a very short time, now how about chrome plating?

If you fancy a re run my TXD will be finished shortly. Bought by a bloke living in Longton and from Rigbye's in Eccleston. I've had it since it was 3. No rust and full GTI interior.

How shortly is shortly Phil? And how much?
