Don't you dare :surprised:.

Leave it Carbon. Looks so much better contrasting with the White Paint :happy2:

You need to slap whoever fitted it though. They have only used sellotape. :evilgrin:

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.
