Title: Colour coding.
Post by: Gene Hunt 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:
