Default black lip on the spoiler

noticed a lot of s2s with a black lip on the rear spoiler, just curious is it just a vinyl cut to fit or is there something off the shelf for this?

Looks like it just been painted to mimic the 3dr/RS500 spoilers mate

So you can just mask up area you want then quick scotch down then paint matt black for desired effect

Do it mate, cut up the lines a bit. Will look proper with other bits

You still got black handles/locks? Suits OE look a lot.

would look shit on a black car it does look hot on white ones though, mines white and am contemplating it... good comment above about keeping the handles black, dont know what it would look like on an 80 spec s2 rear spoiler, looks good on the 90 spec though! In fact i may do it if i manage to find a 90 spec one.
