Colour coding.
« on: May 14, 2009, 12:55:45 pm »
Due to a bit of a ''wind fall'' i could soon be the owner of a GTI. Due to funds it will have to be a standard GTI rarther than an edition 30 but the point of this post is have many of you standard GTI owners had the non colour coded bits painted to match the rest of the paint work like on the edition 30?.Thanks in advance.  :jumping: :rolleye:

Yep! Expect to pay around £500 for colour-coding and the 'bobbled' texture of the black plastic to be smoothed out - for front lower splitter,side skirts and top of lower rear bumper  :happy2:

Yes, did my previous black GTI.  Took all the parts off myself and a bodyshop did them for £200 (4 years ago).  IMO, it's definitely worth doing. :happy2:

For the sake of £70 and getting a better finish buy some ready primered R32 skirts and get those paints.  Cost me £200 to get my skirts done so say £400 for the lot.
