Hey all.
As said in my other post a few days ago our GTI has just been cleaned etc. I promised pics so here goes.

I also mentioned that something/someone had scratched the front bumper of the GTI. Is there any way we could fix this?

Its a bit nasty and has ruined almost every other pic i took of the cars front end.
Thanks guys :smiley:

You can try a cutting compound from a paint supplier, but by the look of that you'll still have some deep scratches but it should improve it a fair bit. I've got some at home just can't remember the brand. Probably a Menzerna or something like that.

The Monza's look so nice :cry:
-
They dont look nice when they dirty :sick:
-
looking good, shame about the scratches, how did u get them? you could just take it to a spray shop or replace the part?? :undecided:
-
Not entirely sure how the scratch got there. I assume someone hit the car with a trolley but my mom always parks her car kilometres away from everything.
-
looks lush mike... :cool: :cool:
apart from the scratches :sick:
by the way, how much does a new front grill cost?

I don't think I would try cutting compuond as it would end up fading as it is plastic :undecided: Some guys use good old boot polish as it fills and polishes :wink:

Thanks hurdy. Will give that a try the next time I clean her. I read that using sho polish on the back bumper and skirts is also very good and shines for ages but i have not had the guts to try it...

It's far better than that silicone rubbish. Just makes the bumper sticky and you end up having to clean it more often :sad:
-
We got this funky tyre gloss stuff that you spray on the tyres and the rims and it looks like snow and as if the car has been driving through flour. But when it drives oh boy does it shine. I tried it on the sideskirt (small testing area obviously) and it worked a dream there too. But was worried that overall it may have an effect on the plastic and maybe make it fade over a period of time..

Oops, so that is not paint? Black plastic? Whoops.
