Just paint it up. For £185 what did you expect, all though the description is slightly shite.

description is a bit off but when them skirts are £160 and the splitter will probably be just as much, for the price of a lick of paint u got a bargain i think

dont blame u i'd be annoyed but you gota look on the bright side, if you bought it all new it'd have cost loads more and you'd have still have had to get them sprayed

its only the paint though - its never seen any plastic primer - so the top coat will never have bonded to the kit - hence flaking off - its not a major issue and within half a day - they would be as new if you just stripped the remaining paint off

plus there doesnt actually appear to be any cracks or dents - just flaking paint
tbh I think you got a bargain seeing as you'll need them painting anyway

get it re-done properly and itll be fine

Take a Karcher to the bits, should strip off the paint, then do a proper job of spraying them. You've not got such a bad deal, better that they arrived like that then have them on the car and flaking first time you jetwashed it.
