To paint or not......Help!!!
« on: March 14, 2009, 04:05:01 pm »
Well, got these bits fitted at The TT Shop the other day and was glad that Justin there convinced me not to get the bonnet painted untill it was fitted and we all agreed that it looked better left in CF.

I've just Photoshoped Candy White sides and now think I might go for it.

What do you think guys YES or NO.....









Also some badge alternatives

You're going to get all different opinions, Neil!

Mine is to definitely paint the sides and do so at the bonnet 'crease' and not fart about with the theory of lining up with the nose. Your eye (brain) will make the visual connection with the nose and the hood bonnet will look better in its own right.

Also, ditch the white parts of your VW badge - Looks tedious and over done! Trying far too hard.

Just my opinions, but I don't have any doubts about them.

....I'm going to be going over to BIALI Skunkwerks to do it with my mate Dan. We're going to see if we can fit another way. He works with carbonfibre quite a lot. He's off abroad snowboarding so I'll wait til he comes back at the end of the month.

I'll post a Review thread with pics in due course.
