Look what I did
« on: 27 July 2010, 13:59 »
I sprayed the front splitter to match the grey plastic in the bumper.

Does everyone approve?

Sorry about the photos and dirty car.

loving the work so far.

I've done that to mine also. IMO it makes the car look so much better. (and a bit less porky)

Thanks!

I think it makes a big difference. My mate sprayed it Teal grey for me as he was painting a set of A3 rims that colour. It matches very well.

I was driving with no splitter for a few days and it even looked pretty good without it.

Next job on the list is tinting the front windows slightly to blend in with the back ones.

[whispers]... I really like what you've done with your GTD.

It's lovely. :afro:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Definitely a must-do mod on lighter colour cars. I would do mine, only nobody would notice... :wink:

I'm not sure about it myself ?? I would need to see it the flesh, would look better if you cleaned your car first before posting the pictures :grin:!!

Not tempted but it looks ok :cool:

PS some twit reversed into mine over the weekend, he has taken responsilbitly just waiting for an assesser to come out to look at it, me thinks about 400 quids worth damage to the bumper?? I was parked up in a car park good job I saw him really!! :sick: I just wanted to strangle him there & then, but this guy was just to nice about it!!

So sorry to hear about your accident. Even worse when it is not your fault.
I had a right old prang when you were on holiday. 100% my fault fiddling with my knob and nav. £1170 to repair. VW bodyshop. Perfect job.

Not very sure about the beards. :rolleyes:
