Just yesterday I mounted a factory E21 spoiler on my car, and I'm going to paint it bronzitbeige when I can find the damn color. I'm not a huge fan of the black urathane, after some debating, I decided to just paint the whole thing. I think it will give the car a more finished, agressive look, anyhow. Another thing you might be able to do is paint the white on the top partition of the spoiler, and leave the rest black. This would match the wraparound trim on the sides of the car. All a matter of prefrence, I guess. If I get mine painted, I'll post a pic. hth, -alan 83 320i 79 320i
