Looks good, are you doing the front
-
no too much stone chips, the paint wil just peel off.
-
Looks very good!
I've had no problems with my painted front - it's been painted for about 8 months now. Are there just bad roads around your area which have led to your decision?
-
yup the roads are not great and my driving style doesnt help any. :grin:
-
That looks mint, the rest needs doin though, don't worry about the stonechips, you can always get done again in 12months time
-
I would have got the sides done too, but looks good.
-
I do like the black lower part. I actually considered de-colour-coding that part :laugh:
-
I'd agree, do the side strips and front splitter, well worth it IMO :smug:

I did too :smiley:
-
I like what youv'e done with the rear, looks :cool: Maybe you could do the front and leave the lower lip black :huh:
-
I never quite understood why VW didn't paint the GTIs bumper like that in the first place, BTW looks great apart from the mud flaps, which should only be fitted to Land Rovers IMO.
-
Do you mind if I ask how much it costs to spray the rear bumper?

Agree - bumper paint looks sweet. Nothing wrong with flaps IMHO - got them myself on car from new. Sensible option to prevent stones flying up against your own and others paintwork. Should be standard fitment :cool:

It does look good with the black section there!! Cant help thinking its missing some reflector stripes tho :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
same look as mine there, but I am havong my front done but leaving the black lip and a set of r32 skirts all being painted at the mo!
will post some pics when done
-
I,m thinking of having that done..Leaving the lower black and the skirts/lip.
How much did they charge?.. Did they smooth it out first,its kinda rough to the touch as standard..
-
it cost me £60 and its smoothed out, the plastic texture is gone. they did a great job well happy :smiley:

£60!!!!!! You got a bargain there mate!
-
£60 !!!!! HOW !?
I can only assume that is a mates rate and you know someone in that line of work than can get it done?
-
I see we're in the same area, who did the work for you? Picking mine up tomorrow in the same colour and I'll deff be getting that done. As mentioned I'm guessing that was mates rates? Or was it a special price for those funny little pictures of the queen?
-
£60!! damn!! i just got my full bumper and sides done at the local VW bodyshop and it cost £300 - i thought that was reasonable as i noticed a few people on hear were quoted £400+ and thats IF they could find somewhere to actually do it.
as a coincidence i was gonna post a couple of pics of mine today but you stole my thunder :angry: not seen any other colour coded laser blue's though so thats fine :grin:

weather isn't cooperating at the moment but i'll defo get my pics taken and posted as soon as the sun cracks through the clouds next :smiley:

First attempt at posting a picture so fingers crossed!
Please forigve me that she isn't clean and its not a great photo - i had to nip out of work to take the shot and its been raining pretty much the whole time since i got the colour coding done friday.
i am going to give it a proper clean with my new detailing stuff this weekend but i couldn't wait to post a pic till then :smiley:

I haven't seen any other colour coded laser blue's and i'm extremely happy with it :grin:
Iain
-
Very nice Rollini the colour match look's spot on on my lap-top aswel :wink:
-
Im not sure what to make of that????, maybe its the light but im not that keen on it. I used to own a good spec laser blue, and it looked
great with the black trims.
sorry durys out here :sad:
My Old girl :cry:, miss the colour

i think it looks better with black bits but i think a rear edition 30 bumper might look better on it :undecided:

The colour does seem to come out lighter in my pic's than it looks IRL. The colour match is spot on and i was slightly concerned that having it blue all the way down might make the a$$ look big (megane anyone? yikes :sick: ) but it makes it look sleaker in my opinion.
-
it need those little details to pull it off as the normal bumper is smooth

pic of mine
-
what little details?
i like the ED30 bumper but i don't think it looks that different to the normal bumper and wasn't worth the extra cost.
I'll give it a clean & wax and take a pic as the sun is going down and it will seem darker blue and hopefully pow like it does if you see it in real life.
