Gloss black...

x2

I had both versions and I preferred the gloss black. Now I have the R32 style rear valance painted in gloss black in the lower part as well.

I've got a Steel Grey Edition 30 rear valance waiting to paint - Should I gloss its inner piece as well?

I really like the look of it all grey though  :drool:

Gloss black, end off.  :happy2:

Ive had the valances painted on both my Eddy rear and my R32 rear, looks way better than the sh*tty textured plastic.

Well I think that clears things up! Gloss black it is!
