Replacement of kick plate
« on: 08 March 2018, 19:15 »
Hi guys

My motor has a scuff on the kick plate and it is annoying me. Does anyone know where to get a replacement brushed section or am I going to have to cough up for a whole ne kick plate at £139. Grrr Plus they are on back order.

i might try re-finishing it with a scotch pad and glass finer stick.

All help welcome.

Me neither, although I was initially looking at the picture on my phone, so a small picture. Still can’t see it looking at a larger picture on my iPad though.

Is that standard? Both of my GTI’s have had a red led strip along the middle section but no GTi logo ?

It’s a clubsport S Guys. Thanks for all your help. Looks like the only option is a whole panel replaced. The parts guys said be thankful that it’s not the red LED at £300 odd a side. Mental!!

If it's just a scuff try a machine polisher on it  :smiley:

Exactly! My Dremel with the polishing bit and a bit of #2 car polish would handle that...for about 50p.
