PICTURE REQUEST: EB F32 Spoiler

Hi guys,

My spoilers currently in the body shop getting sprayed Estoril blue but I'm second guessing now if I should have it gloss black.

Currently got the M performance diffuser fitted.

Any pictures of your back ends please, Estoril blue with either black or EB spoilers.

Appreciated

Definitely EB2! Why would you have a black spoiler on a blue car?! :

Exactly my opinion hence it being sprayed that colour currently. Just someone mentioned to me today 'why don't you have it black' and got me second guessing myself

Definitely go painted. I could only see black working if you had the whole M Performance kit on it. But even then I'd say carbon fibre and not black.

Where did you get your spoiler if you don't mind me asking? And how much did it set you back to get painted? I've seen a couple on eBay but not sure how much it'll cost to paint so haven't bothered thinking any more of it.

I do have the whole kit pal, or I will after Wednesday.

I paid something like £170 from eBay, the seller was harryfairburn (or something similar)

Then body shop charging me £70 to spray and fit.

Contrast maybe? Could be for the same reason, black mirror caps, grills and or lower rear valance? Just saying.

Personally I'd go for it painted to match the car.
Carbon fibre is good if you have c/f mirror caps, splitter, etc., but I'd have the smaller M3 spoiler if doing that.
Very much a personal choice though - go for what pleases you.

Just to explain guys.

Currently have black GRILLES , and the splitter is also in the body shop with the spoiler. The parts that go over the lower part of the bumper and being sprayed EB to match the car and the blade along the bottom is staying carbon. M performance diffuser is obviously black. Spoiler is going EB and considering wrapping the mirror caps gloss black too.

People opinions on this?

Oh that's a really decent price! I may just have to have a search. Thanks!

Would be good to see some pics once it's fitted, if it's not too much trouble? Haha
