Matt black would have been better as it drys a duller and greyer colour (like mine)

....Just the inevitable paint chips you get low down from fast driving on country roads :cool:

Easy to repair. The really good news is that since fitting my OSIR splitter, my bonnet has stayed perfect....So far!

Robin,

Those Audi daytime running lights would look great on your two side splitters on your front spoiler

....Hmm - Not a bad idea but wouldn't they be a bit too low? They would fit very neatly but look best if set back slightly, say three-quarters inch. Food for thought :smiley:

Looks nice Russ - I did mine a few weeks back.
I think your front looks meaner because of the extra vents - did you order and fit them yourself?
