Title: rub strips on golf
Post by: vwkevgti on 14 April 2008, 17:43

does any one know if  new rub strips come painted  from vw or do i have to get them painted myself and how do they fit is there any holes they have to line up to. iam thinking of raising mine up a few mm to cover some  bad etching in the paint work do to polish or something being left in the gap not by me tho
thnks kev

you can get the strips from the stealer either in black plastic or primed ready for painting

part # for primed:
front left - 1J3 853 515 B GRU
front right - 1J3 853 516 B GRU
rear left - 1J3 853 535 B GRU
rear right - 1J3 853 536 B GRU

they just stick on so I don't see why you couldnt move them up a bit

that would look a bit odd as they will be higher than the ones on the bumpers

thanks chaps i still might be able to polish the etching out with the rotary polisher yet and moving them up was the last resort id only have to move them up 2mm if that theres years worth of polish and gunk behind there whats best to get the off dental floss ?  thnks kev  :smiley:
