it comes smooth ready for paint but comes black plastic, im not painting mine this time as ive seen a few that havnt been painted and the look is growing on me, its more of a 'race' look imo  :smiley:

TBH i dont, but the rieger one has been about for many many years, theres even a splitter for the mk4 with the same'ish design. whereas the VWR one has only come to light (afaik) within the last 3-6 months.

The VWR one has also been around a few years, I remember seeing it on a VWR GTI @ Inters in 2006.
