Black Gloss Rear Diffuser
« on: 13 January 2012, 19:03 »
Hi All

I've searched the threads and noticed that there are a few guys that have fitted the Carbon Fibre rear diffuser but has anyone actually black glossed theirs?

Cheers

am1w had his done in a very dark grey colour and it looked very good.
Unfortunately due to the usual problem of this forum he's vacated over to another site so you won't get a reply from him on here.
Have a search of his threads though.

I think i like Askers grey one that matches the front bumper insert better than that black one.

First time iirc a honda dealer painted it. Second time iirc he had it matched after it was damaged.
Oddly i was only discussing Askers rear defuser with another Mk6 owner this morning.

does anyone know the paint code for the grey front grill insert?

i would consider painting the rear 'defuser' and mirror caps that colour

I spoke with the dealer yesterday and they quoted me £60 for the part but i'm thinking i might just let them have the car for the week i'm in Chicago and they can just clip it off, spray it and clip it back on.

They havent yet as the bodyshop was closed. They did some bits on my Roc which was far more labour intensive so i'm hoping its be around £100-£125.
