is it better to paint all the trim on a mk3 gti or remove all side trim and arches? ive heard its hassle pulling of trim and arches coz the joinings got to be removed and filled,is this true

i would say paint them as it looks just as good and alot less hasle or take the arches of and paint the side stipes but you need to make sure thers no rust behind the arch

Be brave and remove them, looks much cleaner plus gets rid of all the rust / water traps.

Mk3's with colour coded arch's dont seem to go....removing the arches and having coded side strips is the norm for the smoother boy's, or if your like me.... keep it o.e
