I'm looking into painting the black plastic parts body color. Probably going to leave the center air intake black though.

Any pictures?

 

It will make the car look so much nicer, it is a definite match. You will be impressed by the looks.

 

So you're going to paint the side rockers, lip, and 2 side front bumper air ducts?

 

And the rear mud flaps (or whatever)... now that I look at it the rear intercooler outlets are already painted...

There was a picture of a TT car here that had a painted C4s lip and painted front grilles (but not the center). I just saw it again a few days ago... someone help me find it!

 

Found it!

Do you guys like the painted front intakes?

 

I dont like it at all. I'd be interested in seeing the opposite tho. Leave the side front ducts black, and paint the center duct grill.

 

I've never seen anyone paint the mud flaps before...

 

Sure you have, it adds one more "slat" to the intercooler exit ducts.

 

This is my next winter mod. Just the skirting for me though: Front lip, siide skirts, and maybe the lower part of the rear panel under the intercooler outlets.

I'd love to see more pics. Spent some time searching the gallery, but couldn't find it.

Oh, and the painted grill outers, not bad. I'm not going that way, but it's not a bad look.

 

Ahh, you mean the rear intercooler ducts. I thought you actually meant the "mudflaps", the two little plastic pieces kinda under the car..

haha that makes more sense.

 

My car's black, so all the bits are already painted

 

lol.

nicely played.

 

Thanks for the honest opinions, I'm rethinking the radiator ducts...

 

I just redid the same project on my yellow turbo. I did front lip, skirts, rear bumper and trim on bottom. I painted the grills gloss black. I was going to do matched grills in yellow but there is too much going on in the grills, they have to be black or look strange. The sides in black and middle painted might work though...

 

Ari, just uploaded a few pictures for you. Hope this helps.
