I looked at getting it from Vw and it was silly money plus no longer made so I had a local signwriting company make and fit some.

Thanks, the roof was a bonkers idea due to having marks on the roof that needed covering.

got mine on ebay.
all you need is 6mm red pinstripe, make sure your bumper is mega clean, get ur mrs hairdryer and heat the tape up as ur applying it, this way adhesive will bond better. i found out the hard way it came off on the motorway :grin:

cheers, don't think i'm going to get one... looks so good on black but just wouldn't look right on dark blue (like mine) but for future reference this is good info. cheers  :smiley:
