Bora vent peeling, solutions
« on: 15 September 2013, 13:53 »
Hi there i recently bought some bora vents for my mk4 golf and noticed the paint on the centre vents was peeling off abit and being the idiot i am i accidentally pulled abit of the paint off, has anybody had bora vents that need some touching up before if so are they easy to do? and do i need any particular paint or something?

A lot of people just touch it up with a black sharpie, depends how much has come off really.
