how much to sparay sideskirts and bumper?
« on: June 02, 2009, 10:00:09 pm »
Hi all, Havethe silver gti, and hate the black plastic showing all over the sides and boot,
Have any of you had these sprayed and how much should I expect to pay to get it done?
Thanks
Al

thats great cheers mate, was expecting like double that due to the amount of paint would be needed, may have to call up my local dealers and sort it out,

I reckon your local dealer will say 5 times that amount for the skirts and back bumper. If you are keeping the original sides then they have to sand them smooth bumping the cost up or you can buy the R32 ones whic come ready primed but cost hundreds.
I reckon you are looking at about £150 for the sides and at least £ 200 for the rear bumper. and that will be from your local garage and not the VW dealer.  :drinking:

i agree with Tom. the reason why mine was cheap was because it was having other bits done. so i think they would have put it through the insurance  :smiley:
