Cheers lads! Saw the matt carbon on an Evo rear spoiler and tought i need a new front spoiler that looks like that!! Got onto Mike R and he sorted it TBH the pics don't even do it justice. It'll look even better now when i clean the fly's off the bumper. I must've been doin a tad over 60...

Thats looks really nice, now seeing that, i prefer that finish. More similar to the finish of the standard item, but with the better looks and steryness.

Mike, if i keep my car, i may be after a set of them.

Can you PM me a price the splitter and hockey sticks.

Ahh i enquired about this not so long ago.

I must say it looks MUCH better than the shiney ones in my opinion. Much more subtle and more factory like.

I bet youve done what many others do and click on the 'last page' icon instead of the 'next page' one.

very nice! seems a good idea to keep the plastic bottom splitter, at least it has a little 'give', in it for when it comes into contact with any thing.
