Do you just want a pic of a red car with a front splitter, not sure I quite understand? If you can ignore the dreadful eBaytatsic bugeye chav lights lol...



My personal view is that painted splitters never look quite right especially when the paint starts to chip and flake off, much better off just leaving them black as nature (or Mazda) intended. Definitely think it\'d look odd half red, half black

all red! from a distance you can not make it out when its all black!

I think it should be all one colour. Either the normal black or if you have to the body colour.
Carbon can be nice too :p

white wudnt be gd lol...nik da greek that pic u posted up you know where the center intake is on the front bumper (think thats what its called) would that part of the splitter look good red then outer oparts black? what u reckon....its my first exterior mod so i wanna get it right first time

Like Adam said, dude, I think all one colour, whichever you choose. I think unless you continue the stripe up the nose/bonnet Viper style then having the centre part a different colour would look a bit odd.

Get someone to do a photoshop on one of those pics so you can se what it\'d look like before you throw the paint around. There\'s plenty of people who come on here with some Photoshop skillz, I\'m sure someone could do it for you easy enough

been looking at more pics and iv decided to keep it black...il have to get the old paint off and respray it i think so heres my very last question lol is there a specific black paint needed or is it just any old black paint?

IMO colour coding the front splitter is the way to go, it finishes of the lines of the car better.

Also I don\'t think painting it black, is the same as leaving it black. If you get what I mean.

im recieveing it blue so id have to paint it black for the time being but when i get the whole car resp[rayed il get the splitter colour coded with the car...this will be done soon after the engine rebuild :eek:
