GTE rear spolier question

[mavvmad]

Im having my spoiler off my red GTE resprayed white as my existing one is cracking,

I was wondering what it would look like if the whole thing was white? IE the black underside and legs in white as well.

has anyone seen a completely one colour one on a GTE?

[paul maxwell]

no i havent......but methinks that ll look cool.

[mr bean]

this is something i have done.
rear black strip removed and underside sprayed white.
i have also fitted a 3nd brake light and reflectors on the corners as my lights have none
i think it looks ok

[mavvmad]

Cheers mate that looks cool.

what brake light did you use in that? and was it hard to fit?

[mr bean]

The brake light is one of those after market jobbies, the led strip ones.
It was removed from case so just the strip, the spoiler taken to bits and cut-out made.
The wire was feed down one if the legs and a hole drilled though leg base and then boot lid.
Wire was then routed round and about to be connected to original wires

Not a difficult job but quite time consuming

mav if you want a spoiler to play with a have one in my garage in grey if you come and get it its yours

[mavvmad]

Cheers for that Slider but im ok.

Im having the spoiler off my red gte resprayed so I will have my existing one to play with. Really dont fancy cutting a good spoiler in case it goes wrong.

I prefer the underneath black tbh

[mavvmad]

Any particular reason Adam? Not being funny but this is the kinda thing im looking for, yes / no and reasons why.

I have to say im inclined to agree with you at the moment, the white underside looks good but a bit ott for me.

[MikeWarner]

Mine does not have the black bit at the front and looks good. I've kept the underside black, but I think it could look good red.

With yours being white I think it would be better to leave yours black as it could make the back end a bit to white - black does a good job of breaking up shapes and giving something a structure - rather than looking like a blob.

[mavvmad]

You summed that up nicely mike, however do you have a pic of the top of your spoiler, I may consider getting that black bit done.

have you got something you would like to say?

[mavvmad]

I dont think Mike meant any offence by that Mr Bean, its just his turn of phrase but I get the jist of what he is trying to say.

what annoys me about the GTE spoiler is how close it is the the rear windscreen - its really hard to clean the bottom on the glass - my brush doesnt reach.
I like that spoiler mr bean - nice little touch to make it different. I might look at mine and see what it would look like with the black bits bodycolour.

[mavvmad]

I totally agree about the rear spolier being too close to the glass, it is a bitch to get t o the glass to clean it, at the moment I cant see out of the glass under the spoiler.

[Davo]

indeedy, I clean the car - looks great!, then get in and look in the mirror and all I can see is a load of cr@p at the bottom of the window.
