GOLF MK4 GT TDI 25TH ANNIVERSARY KIT HELP?
« on: 11 March 2009, 08:22 »
Hello all, i am posting here due to source some help with a task i have with my GT TDI mk4 golf. I have just purchased a 25th anniversary bodykit for my golf, i would just like to know all your opinions on the best way to fit it and have it painted. I am in the motortrader myself and i have spoken to a body repair man who has a body shop and he has said fit the kit first before you paint it. But maybe i should paint it first then fit? please can anyone help me?

it makes sense to then you dont run the risk of the paint peeling at the edge.  if they nt on the car yet should be a piece of cake mate
