Default Spray scoop silver or leave it cf?

I am in two minds to either spray my enlarged cf scoop silver, or leave it as cf..

picture here : http://www.cicarscene.com/forum/albu...hp?pic_id=1536

Thoughts? the only reason why I think I should do it, is the CF scoop has been laminated so it is nice and shiney, whilst the cf bonnet isn't as shiney and more "raw". So it is either get them all lackered, or cheaper solution spray the enlarged cf scoop silver, or just leave it as it is..

ps.. 555 is my racing number, have magnetic side ones, but as bonnet is cf, cant use those , so have to use stickers

They have since been removed for normal road use - as it is not allowd. Just encase people think they are a perm fixture, like the back tape on the lights, they are not!

Id leave it as it is. Painting it silver might not look right.

laquer the bonnet and leave the scoop. why pay out for carbon fibre then cover it in paint so you can't see the weave? i know cf is mainly about weight saving but it does look smart as it is. just my opinion.
