Hi

Can anyone kindly point me in the direction of somewhere where I can get a black light surround panel / transom for a 2017 s3? It’s currently the same yellow as the rest Kf the car and I think the black would look quite good.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Get the panel wrapped ?

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the original 'panel' just all part of the rear clam but with a 'black pack' paint job? If so, then paint or wrap as the previous poster suggests. In fact those would be the cheapest options even if it were available as a separate panel.

I had a club racer and can confirm this part was wrapped, looks amazing, should only cost about £100 quid at a local wrapping place

My Exige has the black pack and from the factory including rear transome, and it is painted.

I'd looked into how to look after it as it is a textured finish not to be polished. Handbook suggests only using Armor All protectant and that brings it up nicely, thoigh it needs doing regularly. It also talks about using a scotch pad if required to remove any marks(!).

Wrapping would work, but need a nice edge around the raised countour of the transome panel. It must be a right arse to paint it in like that too.

Worth doing though as I also think the contrast looks better. OP, do come back and share how you get on.
