Don't you dare

Leave it Carbon. Looks so much better contrasting with the White Paint
You need to slap whoever fitted it though. They have only used sellotape.

To be honest, I'd paint it!
From a distance it justs looks like you have an unpainted black plastic spoiler.
Out of interest, where did you get it? I'm looking for a similar rear spoiler for my 330.

I normally love the carbon look, but on that I think it would look more classy pianted.
If it was the ED30 then most certainly leave it exposed.

I would paint it. But still leave the weave visible, I think too much if left unpainted.
