On my GTI (which has a full stock factory body kit) the main part of the front spoiler is fibreglass and the bottom strip is a plastic of some sort. The fibreglass section is covered in stone chips and the plastic section is even worse. The body kit flex's upon impacts which causes the paint to flex and not just chip it cracks nicely also and looks poor in no time. Around the wheel arches are bad also and are nearly white from stone damage (used to be silver).
I purchased my RA28 as a project car as it was all metal which is infinately more robust than the fibreglass malaysian rice burner. Body kits are infinately cool, but no good for us bumpkins i'm afraid
