Has anybody?
« on: July 27, 2013, 10:47:46 am »
Hi guys?

Has anyone had their standard GTI rear bumper colour coded?
If so, could you show some pics as this is something im toy'ing with doing at the moment so any visual aids would be great!

Thanks

Plenty of people have colour coded their bumpers. It was the first thing I got done.



I had it removed a couple months back because I upgraded to an r32 bumper  :happy2:

They look great... Just spoke to a body shop and they told me it isnt advised because the plastic doesnt cover well and the paint will look dull?  :stupid:

How much should I expect to pay? About £150?

I would find another paint shop-as they don't know what they are talkin about

Sorted.. Booked in to have the bumper and skirts done at the same time for £170.

Happy with that! :happy2:

Make sure they sand them down as the gti rear bumper and sideskirts are textured... And looks pants if they're not smoothed  :happy2:
