Looks good, my spoiler looks like it had only a couple of coats of paint, looks more lemon, than yellow. Could be the way to go if it gets worse.

Don't fancy respraying your spoiler yourself then Pete?

Has the paint faded in the sun?

You should be able to bring it back to life with something like autoglym paint renovator, followed by autoglym super resin polish, just an idea.

Hi Mark, even had the magic touch of Steeve, comes back up but you can see there is no depth to the paint. On the supports one of the corners looks like its almost back to the primer.

Suspect it will come to a respray, I've used a touch up pen, but the colour match on that is pretty awful. So would wonder what the match would be like using new paint.

Yep, I reckon its the sun, the spoiler and rear bumper look almost lemon.

I did respray my first Midget, dont think I'd trust myself now, normally ends up with runs when I use the cans!!!!

Hi Pete, lol, I guess it is always best to pay a spray shop to do a perfect job when it comes to spraying your car!

I shouldn't think a respray for the spoiler and bumper would be too much?

But then carbon is way much cheaper, think it would look good on your zs.

l18mnb did you use just one sheet of the carbon fibre, Im thinking about doing one using real carbon fibre and replicating the xpower ones but its alot of hassle, might try this first!
I'll have to watch some Youtube videos and see what's involved. The problem is if I mess it up it's ?26 down the drain, the window film was less than a tenner!
