I think no. It looks good black, but it needs a wash

Lol, Arnolds working on the poll for me as we speak...

 

[Arnold]

Poll added, and i think Yes spray them red

 

[rlees85]

lol i think you should develop your own personal taste, imo red tho.

want some advice? dont de-bumpstrip grr

 

[mean micra]

imo red looks a whole deal better... did on mine!

but like peolpe will say if you have to ask, dont do it...

but i reckon outcome of poll will favour red...

 

[D4R73N]

Well personaly i think no, but i wanted to see out of intrest...

 

[sonic]

No leave them black, but gloss them up a bit, much better looking.

 

[MA 12.5 :-p]

i think they look better black, bit of contrast

 

[D4R73N]

Christ, this was a bad idea now?!...lol

I think i'll leave them, and mesh them...

 

[G_Man]

spray them gloss black, along with the wheels

 

[Ems]

Noooo, do it red!!!! Look's better!!!

 

[D4R73N]

Well my thoughts are, Black looks alot more subtile and not in your face...

 

[scottish-sr]

Keep them black

 

[Ed]

Red as they look stuck on and 'barry' in another. Idealy you ought to have them blended in as well.

Weren't splitters meant to give a lower look with the safety of them taking bumps and rubs rather than the bumper?

Painting just makes it look like you want it lower to hard.
Anyone seen Puntos with those "stick on" bits that make the bumper look lower, chavtastic, but again it's your choice in the end.

I agree, they are there to protect the bumpers, so spraying them will just be pointless. Splitters on almost every car i have seen come in black. If they were sprayed and did come into contact with the road, the paint would just flake off and look a mess.

auto glym bumper care them they will look good then

Thanks to you who voted, this is the result...

Right, the vote came to 14...Black...9 Red...and rising...

Anyone who dont know what i am on about see here, http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=8420.

This is what I decided to do...

I meshed the Splitter as you see, and it look quite nice, it has also added alot of strength to it... Now apart from the front splitter and grille im almost finnished.

Here is a picture of the back:

Think it will look a lot better if you have that rear bumper smoothed!

Well i'll have a work with the mate that did my side skirts and see what he says price wise, thanks for the comment.

Thanks Sonic!

i think if that was really really slammed on its ass, would be one of my favourite's on here from a side view..you done an excellent job on that

 

[micra man]

Looks great. I agree with the black though and not colour coded.

Cheers, how much would it cost to get it lowered?

For good springs, Eibach, you would be looking about £100 for these. Or you could get these but they are probably poo Ebay Springs

Fitting you could do it yourself if you were confident or a garage would probably dop it for around £50.

 

[Gemma85]

Iv just got some spax 35mm for £100 and yes spray the splitter I'v just sprayed mine white

 

[Arnold]

Its a very close poll!

Cant go wrong with spax springs, remember you can get a discount with demon tweeks.

 

[Gemma85]

I no I got them b4 I found this out
