Andreas - I will get the 3M product - lotsa time - now I got to stand in line to get the parts painted - I phoned around and it's at least 4 weeks. Damn I guess I'll be driving around without the spoiler.....
But looking at the spoiler now I realize it may look best as Cabrio993 did and get the "scoop" painted as well - if I only could see some pictures to compare.

Thanks Andreas!

Here a picture from "Caveman" posted several years ago:



This picture helped me decide to leave the "scoop" black - I just think it would look better that way as it blends in with the dark area of the engine bay.

hans,
I agree. It's also fairly impossible to clean under there.

It looks great in real life! It hasn't really got dirty; just needs wipe now and then.

Cheers,

David
