Hi everyone!
So I've decided to finally bite the bullet and order a jcw aerokit for my r56 s, which should be fitted on Tuesday!
I'm keen to have the rear splitter valance trim painted in black, as i feel it looks far better than when painted in body colour. (my car is dark silver with black roof and mirrors).
My question is, which would be better? Gloss to match the roof and be more durable, or satin to match the grills/arches? I'm leaning towards satin but am worried that it will look perhaps a bit DIY, although it will be done by a pro bodyshop. Unfortunately I can't stretch to the carbon diffuser just yet!
Thanks for your opinions!
