:undecided: Here's one for you, I want my bumpers and side skirts colour coded but you may have read from my other posts that i'm finding it hard to get anyone to do it in my area. With that in mind i have now ordered a vortex front lip spoiler, R32 side skirts all primed and i wanted a GTI 30 ed rear bumper but its £450 which i think is a bit of a rip off. So what i'm looking for is ideas on which rear bumper to get, would get the R32 rear but don't want to change the pipes at the moment which my dealer tells me i would have to do? Any ideas, links or pics would be greatly received :undecided:

That one is hideous! :sick: ETTO, though!
Anyway, the first lot is a body kit for the standard Golfs, and not the GTI

Oh, 'suppose I'd better answer the OP.
The standard GTI front and rear bumpers and skirts WILL paint, but you must ensure proper preparation, and demand the bodyshop uses the correct flexible primer.

Oettinger rear skirt looks great. For the front skirt I'd choose ABT, they have a nice (but really expensive) carbon lip. Anyway, what is best with Oettinger is their switchable remap. :drool:

No REVO in Switzerland. I go ÖTTINGER. I doubt I get more mpg with 300+ hp, though. :smiley:

You're lucky enough to have a hamster :shocked:
Ours drown in the Sheffield flood :laugh:

Here you go - my mate had it done to his - $900 it cost him - primed, painted and back on the car. There must be a shortage of decent panel beaters in the UK if you cant find anyone to do it. The bumpers and skirt were also sanded back so it didnt have that texture under the paint.

That looks wicked.
There are plenty of panels shops, its just the poor man lives in a field. $900 is a steal as EVERYTHING cost less in the states.

Have a closer look at the flag on the Parliment house in the back ground, no stars and stripes there :wink:
-
Ahh, Ozzy, Im SO sorry :grin:
Still I think ANY county in the world is cheaper than getting anything done in this country.
I take it thats your motor Hilton? Very nice.

No no not my car, just one I know from golfmk5.com.
I'm still deciding if I should colour code the bumpers or not. :undecided: I love the contrast from side on with the white but then look at the back and think it looks a little 'cheap' One day I will mak up my mind :laugh: Don't mind the Oettinger kit but it's well expensive! 3,800 Aussie big ones unpainted and unfitted...

I think the MK5 looks 100x better with colour coded bumbers. I couldnt believe VW didnt make the colour coded bumbers for the GTi (like they did with the MK4). Just compare the ED30 to the GTi.

:wink:I managed to get out of my field today and traveled the 35 miles to the bright lights of Bournemouth where i found a body shop to do my spraying, also found a place to tint my windows. Thats the first stage, Revo and rims are the second. I've got one of my kidneys on ebay to pay for it all if anyone is interested :laugh:

Correct - it is Aus, Canberra actually.
Can someone tell me what Revo is?
