Plastic Arches.....

[christomk3gti]

Can you get these in the same colour as your car?

And in a smooth finish? instead of the grained finish.

Cheers.

Also along with the side skirts...

just think it would look proper nice if they were colour coded.

dont think ya can mate...
i guess you would have to have them painted, but not sure if they would look right ?
but i may be wrong, what colour is your car?

[christomk3gti]

same as yours 

black smooth arches would look sexy as f**k on it :-)

They dud colour code rub strips. But they searched those cars. Have seen them done custom and it looked wrong! So wrong. But in black mightvlook ok.

thats ok then, i thought you would be saying its bright green, lol
you can see what people say on here, but i guess spraying it will be the only way!?
get someone to photoshop it on?

What you guys think of the arches....

[christomk3gti]

Do you think they are just smoothed and sprayed?
or are these standard on this model?

[christomk3gti]

few reasons why i want them.... 1 I'm sick of mine been a dull grey. and having to peanut butter them lol, and 2, i think they look crap in grey. they should have been colour coded.

They never did colour coded GTI arches especially on a driver

Sand the textured finish down with sandpaper
Give them a coat of plastic primer then give that a light sand with wet and dry
Then give them a coat of high build primer, then give that a light sand with wet and dry + do another coat
Give them another light sand with wet and dry and apply your top coat
Then once you're happy, lacquer over the top

Easy
