Why not get some 3M di noc carbon sheet and just wrap it?

Its dead easy to apply Would look good and give it strength where it's cracked.

I think carbon wrapped would look good and a nice contrast against the red paint.

If you do it and don't like it or it doesn't work then you can always buy one.

In fact I'm 90% sure there is one (red as well!) on eBay at the moment from a breaker in Halifax.

Option 2. depends on when you plan to sell, if you're planning on keeping it for a while I think you're really looking at any of the other three options.

Of the other 3, I would paint it black. IMO the black splitter looks better than the colour coded as the colour coded gives the car a double chin appearance. And IMO painting the splitter will last better than wrapping it as the splitter will pick up a lot of stone chips. I tried wrapping mine and within a few weeks the wrap was peppered with little stone chips.

Is the splitter easy to remove? I wouldn't mind getting mine Carbon Wrapped.

I would go for gloss black painted, then do the rear diffuser to match, maybe the wing mirrors to. I think the ED35 has it, looks good on a red GTI.

I got a quote from a body shop near me to do it on my white one, but they wanted £800, dont think i could do it well enough myself.
