Please help a thicko..........
« on: 20 March 2011, 18:06 »
before I do something stupid  :laugh:

I've managed to get myself a full set (4) of genuine mud flaps, now do I take it that these get screwed in using the existing screws that hold in the inner wing? Or do I need to redrill??

Also, I want to paint my front/rear VW badges black. I can see how the front 1 comes off, but how do I get the rear off, and how do I reattach it afterwards?

If anyone has a spare front frill VW badge going, please let me know  :wink:

Thanks

Toby

Trim tape is the best for the badges.

Glad you saw sense and edited your post!!!

I don't need to buy a Black 1, I have that already, but I want to experiment with a few other colours aswell, so the idea of asking if anyone had 1 going cheap made more sense than paying for new ones

DON'T YOU THINK???????
