Halfords etc sell it. I had the black bumpers originaslly, but had the red tape that we put on, and it looked really good! I also put it on the dash board.... You can view pics here if at all interested :smiley:

Oh yeah, its called pin striping

the red stripe could look cool as your cars red but i prefer the black and if your going old school, red makes it look '80's rather than retro. i'd try to get the chrome ones.

you are aware that the mk2 is very much a car of the 80s arent you?

you cannot make a mk2 retro anymore than 1984, so we're talking red stripes. if you go gti without red stripes and call it old school then you just look a bit desperate.

bit like flower power but without the flowers.

Only problem with the red stripe is getting the rest of it for the rest of the car.
