Think I am going to go against everyone here! Black rear valance and colour coded side skirts!  :smiley:

I'm having the diffuser gloss black but with colour coded (candy white) side skirts

When u getting it done? Pics needed!
i wouldn't paint the GTI side skirts white or black. the definitely will get hammered by stone chips. personally i think they look good bare plastic.

i would either fit 35/bluemotion skirts or leave them alone

the front and rear diffuser would look good black but even the diffuser I'm not that bothered about

for me its the front lip thats the awkward looking part.

Hmmmm your right about the front lip, even the wrap wouldn't last long!



yeah its just a lot cheaper to wrap and when it does look speckled with chips you can easy peel it off.

Would love these skirts but VW will charge a fortune!?

Dropped my car off at the body works yesterday morning and got a phone call today to collect. As soon as I turned I noticed something wasn't right! Rear diffuser was colour coded instead of gloss black!! So back off with the diffuser and I have to go over tomorrow morning to get it fitted with a fresh coat of gloss black! Side skirts are done though  :smiley: I liking the cleaner fresh look now, no more plastic  :evil:

Glad youre pleased as that what matters, but it just looks like a standard 3 door golf without the black detail to the side skirts IMO, sorry to be negative.

Yeah I think it looks alright. Could we get some pics of the colour coded diffuser, just out of interest?  :cool:
