Spoiled for choice ? ;-)
Anyway... When I got my car, it had this ding in both the spoiler and the duck lip... PO must have hit a shelf or something because the bumper's fine !
A good friend "fixed" the duck in no time with his airbrush and very little filler... He's a genius, that guy...
That leaves me to deal with the spoiler "cover"... Off in the picture above, but still dinged in a way that does not lend itself to sanding/filling....
It comes off with 7 torx 15 screws incidentally...
This is harder to find than I thought... The dealer can order one from atlanta for $117...no, wait, superseded part..that'll be $168 (ouch) in primer ! Then I need to paint it, not horrible $$ but still....
so the duck is good, but that little ding bugs me. See what I mean, the plastic is deformed, you cannot really sand that down or reshape it, I tried and made it worse.. Has anybody tried leaving the spoiler in mate black primer look? I'm intrigued, but it may look silly. I don't want to put an aftermarket wing for $$$... Black might be alright though...
Parts Heaven almost hung up on me (Cayman? What's that?)... Surely there is a CS dismantler out there than can set me up with a white one, but I cannot find it... Ideas ? It's not a huge deal, I can live with this for a while...
Just posting on the off chance one of you has either a white spare lying around, or a picture of a black spoiler on a white car..
Feeble attempt with photoshop... don't know... Not awful, but...
