Good advise, see where you're coming from. As my GTi is a 2014 plate, when I do come to sell I'd imagine it'd be privately as I doubt if the trade-in value a main dealer would offer would be anywhere close to a private sale. With that said, perhaps the powder coating route might be the way to go, although I still feel some indecision in my thoughts. Those Belvedere's look great, but looking at the price in the link, may be a touch out of my price range.
