Edition 30 or Votex Front Spoiler - Cheap UK source?
NORTHERNER76:
Taking the car to a local bodyshop on Monday to see if they are fazed by the "bobbled" finish - if they are then frankly I will be a little doubtful about them anyway :wink: I appreciate it is going to be difficult to paint them but as suggested, sanding and priming and good surface prep should make it doable - be interesting to see what sort of warranty they will put on their work.
redRobin - nice, seen plenty pics of your car on the likes of tyresmoke...etc - have to say I likke the anthracite Monza's - love the Monza alloy and don't want to move away from them as to me they are part of what makes the GTi a GTi!! BUT I hate the fact the polished design is susceptible to corrosion... toying with the idea of getting mine done in anthracite or black - have a reflex silver GTi... could look good I reckon!

....Thanks for the compliment. It's scary - I sometimes see pics of my car when I'm Googling for something else!
At the risk of seeming pedantic, my Monza's aren't strictly anthracite, they're just dirty in that pic! They're powdercoated Smoked Chrome.
There's a write-up I did here : - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=726.0
I agree totally with what you say about the Monza's. They're so easy to clean too!
:happy2:

Thanks for that link - interesting reading. Like you i want to retain the Monza II's BUT have a more robust finish - I like the Smoked Chrome - think I would look to go a tad darker to contrast more with the Silver paint work of my car... hmmm, decisions, decisions...

Robin, you need to wash your car!
But at least it's being driven! :driver: :driver: :driver:

I (jet)washed her just before Santa Pod last weekend but that pic was taken just before.
Driven 62k miles in 3.5 years = approx 17,700 per year - All very random - Can be 30 one week and 600 the next. Less than 50 miles this week :sad:
