Title: Anywhere sell the red bumper trim?
Post by: the dude on 14 November 2008, 12:33
Hey all, New to the board(introduced myself in the welcome thread) I have a mk3 GTI, but love seeing the anniversary editions and the red stripes along the bmpers, is there anyone who knows of anywhere that would sell the strip,almost like a decal, or has anyone tried it themselves? hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but there wiill be plenty more where they came from unfortunately!

Look in the Yellow pages for a signwriting company and get them to cut you some which is what I did or pick up a pin strip from halfords, no longer available from Vw new.

Fantastic mate, ta very much, think that looks ace on yours, Is it vinyl? Will be looking throghh yellow pages later for a good comapny, do you just measure the length and width of the bumper space and they will sort it and you put it on yourself?
 love the wheels as well, what make are they?
I just picked up a set of 4 15" BBS today for mine, £80 with tyres, what a bargain!!!

Yes it is vinyl, they cut it to size and I fitted it, easy to do.

The wheels are SSW speeds in 17", no longer made now, I have just sold them.

halfords do the pinstripe apparently. I went to my local motorserv and got a 10m roll for 1.99
