:stupid: Have a look at other peoples' cars here. People with standard GTI cars have had their skirts and valances painted. Think they have to be sanded down and primered prior to painting.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....Some of us have replaced our GTI dimply plastics with OEM R32 ones which come primed ready to paint.

Rich, top dash rattle, you might need a a couple of lolly sticks, to wedge in under the top defuser housing..

Thats were the main creak or rattle comes.. unless yours is in a different place to were im thinking?
