Yes, and it has already, but it touches up easily. It's only on the visible front of the inter-cooler, the metal in-between the blades that gets the majority of the air-flow is still un-touched. Maybe one day I'll get the black MR light clusters, after I looked into painting the existing ones, it sounds like too much hard work.

Thanks for the input guys. I obviously dis-agree with some of you about the inter-cooler and radiators. It's perfectly safe to paint the visible front, the majority of the surface area of the metal blades throughout are untouched. The key is not to hinder air-flow, which it isn't doing, therefore will make hardly any difference to the intake temperature.
