Sportline Front Spoiler Painting

[In a state]

I'm just about to take delivery of a new Indium Grey Highline and a Travelin Lite front sportline spoiler.

Question is I see a lot of folk are painting the lower middle splitter section in gloss black.

Can some of you with front spoilers show me some photos of how you've finished them, either two colour or a single colour as I'm trying to decide which way to go...as I have a Vanstyle splitter coming too, which is gloss black.

TIA

Was that painted black or left raw ABS?

Full gloss Blacked everything apart from the lower lip which needs to be a different colour to the rest to give the chunky aggressive look.

Mine is a genuine VW spoiler and it came in a light grey plastic colour. I noticed that if you got a genuine sportline van they were painted a metallic silver. The retrofit spoilers (by the dealers) were painted vehicle colour. I just thought I would balance out the front by painting mine gloss black like the fog light surrounds, I also had the grills done gloss black too.

Hes another for you. Much the same as the other lads

Mine came factory red, thinking of getting them glossed black, might add a splitter too.

Sorry, but imo the sportline bumper looks a bit light a lawnmower to me

Thanks guys for the info.

One more thing, the instructions with the spoiler state that it's just clipped bolted on, did any of you guys bond it one also?

 

[Nick-C]

The vw instructions say to bond the spoiler where it wraps the corners on the original bumper.

@Nick-C do you have the rest of the instructions for the VW spoiler and any chance I could have a copy please as I am looking to remove and swap mine over to an ABT one and don't have any instructions as the spoiler was fitted by the dealer before I bought it, thanks Jim

@Nick-C TBH I'd like to see the full version too.

Really? I like how yours looks now.

From memory they have the screws on each end under the wheel arches, and two that would normally be holding your number plate on, and the rest is mastic, which might be a nightmare to remove off the original bumper, but i'd be interested to see how you get on. I'm sure there will be no shortage of people that will buy the Sportline one.
