Title: Red Gti - black bonnet and spoiler?
Post by: DeejayGti on 23 February 2010, 19:17: I recently refurbished my Monza 2 alloys and took a gamble and painted them black! I have to say they make the car look great. I was thinking that I would fit a black bonnet and tailgate spoiler to finish the look. Has anyone else done this and thoughts please!

Thanks,

Deejay

Post by: maxp on 24 February 2010, 19:22: Is that bonnet matt black :shocked:
That, the exhaust and the aftermarket skirts make it a no for me.

Post by: bobotheclown on 25 February 2010, 15:49: I did see a completely matt black gti in greenwich imax car park a few weeks ago. looked quite nice. Not sure if it was a re-spray or vinyl.

If I were to do it I would definitely see if vinyl is suitable.

I have just bought the Subaru as another toy.

How do you think it will compare to the Golf guys?

Any experience of owning both?

....Welcome to the forum, Claire :afro:

The pics I posted are of a car across the pond but I think the body mods are:

- Rear spoiler + exhaust trim: VW Mk5 R32.

- Rear roof spoiler: OSIR(?).

- Side valances: Rieger(?).

- Front splitter: Rieger, but VWRacing offer a very similar one which is stronger.

Someone will hopefully correct me where I may be wrong.

Post by: Jimp on 28 February 2010, 18:33: Spot on, only it's spelled Rieger :afro:
