Title: Colour change advice
Post by: denni on 25 March 2012, 20:41

I have a 5 door mk4 1.8t with smooted r32 kit on in black. Im thinkin of going white same a the mk5 golf white with a gloss black roof. Also going to get rid of my bad boy bonnet and go back to a standard one with the badge hole smoothed. What are your opinions on my idea? Also what price would you think as i have been quoted a price from my mate and wondered if its good. Heres pics of what its like now and what im hopeing it to look like. Cheers for looking

Yeah the white wud look good and I think it wud compliment your wheels more...

Cost wise tho back in my 106 days I had a full respray which was £450 but obviously the price have saw'd since then....

My mate runs a body shop and now quotes around the £2500+ mark for a full respray!

Go buy a white one and paint the roof black! Much cheaper option.
