I've seen a white Ibiza facelift near me today with a completely black spoiler and it looks odd :/ I'm not fond of it but its what each person and the op likes :) I quite like where its a black roof then part of the spoiler is black leaving the points the colour of the car, think there's a few cars on here like that as that's what I'm aiming for eventually :D

But Dean nice work on the Ibiza keep it up looking forward to more updates :). How does it look with the fr badges left in there colour and not black does it still suit it?
And does you boot release S badge rub with the wrap being on it?

Totally agree Mark,
But then again, maybe he bough the spoiler black already and is thinking of painting it.

Here's mine:

Changes the end of the car 180deg.

That's a good point mate :) if it was black it'd make it easier to do the half black part :D. Mine was done since I*bought the car from seat, saw the price on my invoice for them supplying, painting and fitting it and nearly s*it a brick lol.

Here's mine next to my dads A1 clay barred, polished and waxed them both the other day. Does make a difference to the car though the spoiler, I don't think they look quite right without it

Vinyl needs a lot of patience and a lot of time. If you rush you will mess up. Some spray can help but depends on the vinyl you use. The only thing I use is a heat gun.

I gave £50 for the spoiler on eBay.

The spoiler was already that colour when I bought it so I'm putting it on as it is and then decide whether to get it painted white to match.

Thanks for all the comments guys :)

50 quid... bargain, very good find!

heatgun = hairdryer? :p

It's the only one I have seen on eBay and I was only looking cause I was bored lol.

Hair dryer will do the job. Don't get it too hot or it will burn straight through the vinyl. I would get enough vinyl to do some practice runs first so you can get the hang of it

Whats the best vinyl to use? There is loads on ebay but half of them are mega cheap and im guessing, probably crap too.

Like has been said 3m is probably the best out there but it ain't cheap. I used a cheaper one to do mine but may have been a lot easier with 3m. I might use 3m for my roof
