Title: getting Red GTI Bumper trim red again??
Post by: GuvGTI on 16 May 2006, 18:16

hello, ive got a mk3 anniversary, the rear red bumper trim is looking a bit faded and the general exterior red bits could possibly do with getting more redder if there is such a thing.

Wondered if there is red trim kits available, or easy method to get it red again? Any products for detailed areas? wha dya rekon?

you'll need to get some pinstriping sticker stuff on a roll, pull all the old crap off, or if its painted on, cover it up with fresh tape stuff

should be fine as long as you prep it well. remember preperation is the key, nice and dry, clean, and a warm (not cold or hot) day.  :smiley:
