Post by: FamilyDub on 06 October 2009, 15:38: The general theme is that colour-coded is best, but are you that bothered on a dark car?

I'm in a silver 5-dr and i'm leaving it standard... well, on the outside. :evil:

Post by: winrya on 07 October 2009, 09:44: I purhased front and back bumpers from the edition 30 gti which come primed. The skirts I had flattened and painted. It's not a cheap job but I hated the plastic
bumpers. Vw sell the bumpers and you can usually negotiate a discount. Other sites sell them but they tend to charge more.

Just paint the standard GTI skirts and bumpers. I did that from day one on my reflex silver, and it was one of the best 'mod's aesthetically. :cool:

Originally done in situ, but the sills subsequently had to be removed to be redone. Hence why it is vital that they are done with the correct flexy plastic primer.
