Title: Satin silver
Post by: mattmk4 on 23 May 2011, 11:34
Was satin silver a rare colour compared to reflex silver?

Im finding it so hard to get a front bumper in the same colour and as soon as anything comes up on ebay its gone within minutes at silly prices!!

i bought mine knowing it needed a few cosmetic bits thinking i'll just get bits off ebay, but its proving to be very difficult!

Dont get me wrong its not a pile of crap, its just the little things irritate me.

I did manage to get a drivers side wing for £60 delivered though and that that a nasty dent between the door and the arch

i take it the satin silver is the duller one and the reflex is the metalic shiny one?

Mate of mine has a satin silver mk4. It's got a kind of bluey metallic effect to it. It's crazy nice looking on a sunny day. Very hard to find spares the right colour though and very tricky to colour match.

Mines satin silver and i've had no problems with parts and colour match, got 2 rear doors complete in satin silver for £60 for the pair and the match was perfect. Once clean satin silver shines really nicely and even though mine is a 99 s plate it certainly doesnt look it

RESULT :

i go walking with the dog to a place called Hayburn Wyke just outside scarborough and was talking to the fella who runs it who also has a breakers yard.

Its only a small yard but he happens to have a golf.

Went to look today and its ....... a MK4 .......S reg.......Cam belt failure........Silver..........and LB7Z!!

front bumper is unmarked, needs the black bump strips painting (but can possibly remove them from my bumper) and the bonnet is also unmarked.

£50!

May have a look at the near side wing and see what condition its in as i may just take it for what he's gonna charge me for it!
