 :lipsrsealed: secret  :grin:

nah just a few things, grill, lower grills on the front bumper (already kinda black but thats the plastic) etc.

want an OEM/VW colour so I can just buy black mirrors without having to paint them myself



EDIT: my motivation ---->  http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/290159.aspx?PageIndex=1

Black magic isn't very reflective. Lo41 polished up gives a nice deep shine. Very reflective as its metallic.

yeah but I dont fancy my painting skills to do the curve and stuff on the mirrors hence why buying an OEM coloured mirror and then have to get paint to match up for the grills

straight lines on the grill I can paint  :smiley:
