Cheers for the advice. Can anyone else confirm that the sills and lower part of the front-spoiler where factory painted black?
My mechanics said they wouldn't of been black but the original colour.
Thanks peter.

Only the small angle.

Further there are original black stickers available for the four curved lines in the spoiler

Peters right. I had the stickers originally. Had them painted in the last time I had a respray. Looks better and will last longer too.
