Car looks great to me, the pipes/wheels and window trim all compliment each other Imo?

I would save your money for fuel and enjoy driving it.

nsm3 - have you been speaking to my wife ? She said exactly the same 😉
So when is this ‘old enough to know better’ supposed to kick in ?

I looked at various posts regarding painting and wrapping but then it dawned on me that actually the problem is the black rear spoiler. So now I am going to investigate the possibility of having it painted in the body colour.

Thoughts ?
I also think the car looks great as it is. However, having focused on what you’ve highlighted, when you keep staring at it, I know what you mean.

I think that’s what you end up doing with something on your car you’re not quite happy with ..... it’s the first thing you see every time, like the scratch on my bumper which is invisible to my wife!

I’d be tempted to at least find out how much it would cost to put your mind at rest. You can then make a judgement about how much it annoys you.

My car is black with chrome window surrounds, chrome roof bars and chrome sports exhaust, but of course the rear window spoiler is also black too. Looking very utility on this pic.

I understand your point but I wouldn't waste any time or money on it, gain some points tell your wife she's absolutely right and buy her something nice to surprise her with the money saved 😉 You can then put in an order for your next one to your exact requirements with less scrutiny 🤔 Trust me, I have been a long time married 😳

Congrats and enjoy 👍

Decision made and it’s going in tomorrow to have the rear spoiler painted in the body colour. It’s actually going to the dealer who quoted me cheaper than a local top grade body shop.

Well that did not go according to plan. Started on the journey to Wolverhampton and encountered the M6 ‘car park’ with separate incidents causing lots of delays. The result was that I would not get to the dealer until after it had closed so I had to abort the mission and now I will try the journey next week (business trip to the US between now and then).
