Welcome to a great forum Rob!

The CW does look great. I think it does look sharper with the original black skirts and lower rear valance. If they're super black the contrast with the white is aesthetically very strong, in my opinion.

never liked the lower rear bumper black on the mk5 and the first thing I wanted to do was get it painted white and leave the center defuser bit black but the  all black is growing on me think I'll leave it a while before I make my mind up

I think it's a very personal thing, but I think the car looks a bit slimmer with the full black. I was going to get mine painted, but it's grown on me the way it is.

I personally would get the side skirts and rear bumper colour coded, the look is much improved IMO :happy2:
