Hey guys,
I got a BA and although it might seem a bit weird im looking at getting a different colour spoiler to what the car paint scheme is. My question is, is it legal to have a different colour spoiler to the car colour? Cheers. |

I wouldn't think so.... I'm 99% sure you can drive around with it in undercoat if you so like. You can get a roadie with panels still in undercoat so I don't see how a different colour spoiler could really be any different....

Nope, you can have every panel a different colour if you choose to.

In QLD it is required for cars at time of an inspection for RWC to be of a constant tone of colour. However I have never heard of any one being booked because of an oddball coloured panel, nor would any decent copper worth half his salt book someone with a car they could not afford to touch up. It is a grey area a bit like if the inspecting mechanic checks a car & finds the spare is bald then he can not pass the car but if the spare is missing then he can pass it.

It would be no different to the bi-wing that was on AU XR6/8's? The bottom was body color and the top was black.

Epic fail. Paint colour is not mentioned in any way, shape or form in the RWC inspection guidelines. The only requirements is that there are no reflective surfaces in view of the driver. Signed, a RWC Inspector. (NOT Unr8d)

No need to be sorry, its good to have it cleared up is all. Everyone on the forums having a lot of different opinions give great input on subjects so people can gain the best advice. Thats why we are all on here.
