Oh, I notice that Raccoon have a centre in Maidenhead, which is really close to me, but I'm guessing that they won't know who you are if I mention your name, as you got yours done at the Leeds centre didn't you?

I'll give them a ring and see what they quote..

give the guys at leed a ring first and get a price then ring the one near you lol

Cheers for your reply on golfmkv.com as well Bennylenny!  :happy2: :happy2:

I think the creases works better on your as you have the break between the lines, whereas mine wont! I think following the grille is the way forward for me!

Only choice now is whether I continue the red from the grille, or just keep it all black!!!!!!! Decisions Decision decisions!!!!!

No idea! Unless someone else on this forum knows anyone?

You could just look on another vehicle forum where the particular car is suited to vinyl, i.e. the lotus forum (SELOC) and (MLOC) - because they are cars that get vinyl'd quite a lot with stripes etc. That may give you some ideas for some places!

HTH.  :smiley: :smiley:

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

Hmm yeah it looks good with the red stripe continued!

Still can't decide though!

May play it safe, as Greenouse suggests!

i am going to dis agree with every one else and think you should follow the lines in the bonnet , imo this will give more of a factory look and the lines a better finish !  just my opinion  :happy2:
