Red stripe around grill
« on: January 16, 2011, 01:20:40 am »
How easy is it to take off?

Want it black, what's the best thing to use?

Anyone done it?

iv got mine painted white, just use a small flat head screw driver, and just go along and pop it out from your front grill, just dont scratch the black or use so much force that u snap the red stripe :) it is easy realy :)

clean it with hot soapy water then also get some very fine sand paper rub it down, prime it, then sand again, then paint then laquer it :) i just drove round for 2 days without it whilst i painted it :)

then just clip it back on and your done :)

Nope,  never been available on it's own.
I do like them colour coded, but not sure how a black one would look, not too keen on the idea myself.
Love it when peoples projects use a couple of colours,IE, delboys black GTI with the light blue theme on the interior and on the grill too.
