The bottom half of my sills and lower section of rear bumper are painted in flat black (the top parts of both are of course in body colour), the lip around the bottom of the front bumper (and hence the undertrays themselves) is not painted:

Yes, and I can see where your idea would be really nice but my thought is that the factory didn't paint these so that scrapes...which will happen, will not peel paint and maybe not look so bad without the paint?

Just popped into 9M,
As the surface texture is very fine, the smooth finish can be achieved using 'high-build' plastic primer prior to painting to match the cills and rear bumper.
Having said that, they recommend fitting without painting because, as Steve says, they tend to pick up the odd scrape and when painted start to look a bit messy!
Think I will just fit them as they are for now. If at some stage I have the cills re-finished, I may have the front pans finished to match at the same time?!

FYI for anyone who cares, you can remove the plastic spoilers and mount them on non-turbo body undertrays .. they fit perfectly. I did this on my C2.

The wait is over...................
My front splitters from Carnewal arrived today in a HUGE box!!
Inside I found 2 brand new Porsche parts as Cobolt has described. 2 Standard front under-pans with the splitters already rivited and bonded in place from the factory. They are dated 2006.
I understand Gert is very protective over his factory 'source' for these parts and doesn't wish to divulge information ***** nilly. As already stated, the part numbers relate to the standard pans only, as the splitters were clearely added at a later date.
An excellent service from Gert and Carnewal at a reasonable price. I can recommend them.
Thanks to Paul B for his original direction.

Factory delivery was primer and paint. Texture is OEM. If you smooth them out that is not how they were delivered as original equipment on the cars. But whatever you prefer ....

On the Turbo S wing and original twin pipe tips. It turns out that they were made by the same company. Porsche would be willing to have either one of those made if they could sell enough of them to make it worth ordering a batch. I would have to look back through old emails to find the number of twin tip pipes they required to place the order. I believe that NYC123 has this info as well.

I installed the Getty/MA Shaw Carbon Fiber 3.8 RSR Splitters today...the fit and finish looks better on the Carnewal. I also need to replace my front bumper as the urethane has become wavy..

Better late than never!! I have finally had 5 mins to take some quick snaps before fitting the splitters as requested. I'm waiting for my gravel guards and new screws to arrive before I fit all the new bits!

I lost one of my splitters when racing an R1. The guy said it flinged at him at 100 mph like a boomerang. That's because he was way behind me. Typical when sport bikes try to race me. Need another. They're a pain in the rear to fix.
