So removing would help keep the rear screen cleaner, as i've just de-wipered this is of interest to me.

It is about the same with or without the spoiler tbh.

Yes I will mate.  Only cost £6 for the can and after a couple coats it looks like new.  Still got a few more to do.   :smiley:

I've just sorted the greying plastics everywhere on mine, spoiler included! I bought a cheap heat gun from eBay, went over it all over the last 2 evenings, it's now all black. Looks great!  Don't mess about with paint and back to black products.

I think the heatgun treatment fades over time tho.
