Golf GTI Respray or not?
« on: 21 May 2015, 19:47 »
I have purchased a 5 door golf GTI, T reg - saved it from scrap but it's only done 85k and immaculate. The problem with it is the colour, it's Gold/dark yellow! I have tried to ignor it but I can't any longer., it's more like a vomit colour. My question is, would it be worth getting it re sprayed? I have found somewhere that will do it for £500 (not inc door struts) in pure white. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks, Steve

Hi thank you, def a good suggestion - although someone wanted me to have it as a favour to me, selling it would be difficult :/
