Silver front splitter / rear splitter

Post by **milesg** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 12:21 pm

Hi guys,

I have a Panther Black car with the black optics pack and sport pack.

I like the idea of the silver front splitter / rear splitter being in Silver to break up the black. A lot of people love the all black stealth look but i am not sure.

I am considering getting these bits wrapped matt silver.

What does everyone think? Am I mad?

It's rather a subjective thing, but for me it would be a no. As in the last pic the alu works because of the V-Spokes and alu trim. It might look a bit strange on yours given the black theme.

It's worth considering also that you are wrapping two of the most exposed areas of the car, so if you use it a lot it might get chipped/marked quite quickly.

Black allround for me aswell.

How about a matt grey to tie in with the wheel spoke colour. As you say all black needs little bits different colour to break it up.

Leave as is,
as long as its clean Black on black will always look good

Thanks guys. Still cannot decide.

How hard are these bits to be removed? Does the splitter come away from the bumper or is it 'bumper off'?!

Same with the rear defuser panel?

I am tempted to take it to a car wrapper and see if they can do it with everything in situ. If I don't like it, I can remove it. I can also choose a higher spec brushed alu matt vinyl or even a silver carbon effect film.

Thoughts?!

Thank you thank you

There is nothing to remove, Factory is just masked and painted.

+1 on that
Personally, I'd leave it all black, but if you were going to do it, match it to the wheels
Make sure you get a good robust wrap too, as that bit of the car takes a battering from stones

I debated the same thing when i got mine (also in panther). But the more i see it without it, the more i love it.

I have Matt Alu pack on my Sepang car and I still really like it, I have Vs too. Rotors simplify the look of the car therefore if leave it simple without wrapping but as you say if you begin to dislike it, take it off.

Whatever you don't spec, you wish you had. A colleague of mine bought a Sepang car without sport pack, full leather or 20s. He regrets it but I actually like the simplicity of no DRC, Alcantara and 19s.

We'll never be happy with what we've got
