    Paint RS2 bumper white or black?

    Hey.

    Got my RS2 bumper on. Waiting for the air intakes insteed of the foglights though.
    I have noticed when i drive around town with the bumper unpainted that i get alot of comments on how nice it looks. And so on. I was 100% sure i would paint it but im begining to change my mind so what do you guys think?

    Heres a piccy.


    It has something raw about it like that. Question is if it will stay that way if i paint it?
    Im doubtful.

          IMHO you need to get it painted along with the black rubber door strips.

              naaah it looks like a rover now.
              change it back to all white.With the air intakes being also white and the side markers being whitish it looks much better.keep it OEM

                      i was thinking of buying the air intakes for my RS2 those that also incoroporate the round fog light.However my car is dark blue and whilst using these intakes,makes the corner lights seem big and transparent hanging on the side of the bumper like that.

                      I noticed meep that on your photoshop you managed to paint the corner lights black.Is that possible in some way in real life??hehe i mean is there some kind of spray,or material in order to make the corner lights look dark blue,or black even to match the rest of the fog-air intake module?
                      cheers

                        Well wasnt my photoshop but it shouldnt be a problem there is paint for just that. Comes in spray cans ussually used to tone down rear lights. You would need to open the light and then spray the inside of the "lens" and then reseal it.
