I only ever fit this tape to the boot plynth corners when going to shows. Dirt collects at the back of mk2's if anything  :sick:
The tape is a cheap and simple idea for the show days. Bonnet bra's do more damage than protect.

Suprised most show cars have not fitted stone guards yet?

I just don't get this - at all....

I use my car as a Daily & I abuse it to feck.... Carry interiors, bumpers and god knows what else...

& I've spent £1000's on her and she is of show quality, but she's still my daily ride....

I'm more worried about car park dents than stone chips... Car Park dent you can avoid by not being there - but stone chips happen from the car being driven....

What is the point in having a drivers car and NOT DRIVING IT!!!

Makes no sense to me but I Have had a few V&C!!!

Totaly get you guys. Just can't fit it to the front. Thats as ghey as apply wax to paintwork with bare hands.

My mates corrado got taped before a show. The paint was fresh and it came off with the tape at a show  :grin:

I remember last year I won the GTi International 'best mk2' even though I use mine every day. The guys with the expensive resprays and taped fronts were not happy.  :laugh: One for the daily crew  :cool:

Yeah he's right, as if you trailer or don't drive your mk2 properly, you're missing out. Wrapping it in cotton wool and polishing it every time you stop does not count as enjoying a mk2. Bang an abf/20vt in it so it half moves, then feel the 130+mph stone chips!!! Aah!!! Still better than being gay and wet behind the ears
