Have a look at other peoples' cars here. People with standard GTI cars have had their skirts and valances painted. Think they have to be sanded down and primered prior to painting.

....Some of us have replaced our GTI dimply plastics with OEM R32 ones which come primed ready to paint.

now that sounds like a plan robin...however, aint the tailpipe posistioned in the middle on the R32?<>? plus outta interest, how much does it cost?

Its only taken me 9 months to get around to sorting out that annoying rattling centre top vent.. touch wood thats the end of it.

....Is that the one on the dashboard or the roof where the specs stowaway is?

The one on the dashboard robin. Its bugged me for ages, but I'm a bit slow at getting around to these things 

Just need to stop the door mirror adjustment knob from rattling now. Stupid mk5 cheap materials...
