yes that was me.
Well the cops never got the culprit and the damage on my car to £1180. They did initially say it was around £3000 but when they got to work they realised it was just a scuff. The most expensive part was the front bumper at £280. It was mainly panel damage.
Car to me still drives like it did before it had a scuff.

did you buy new parts or get them primered and sprayed?? looks good and been wanting the same look for a while now. also how much did you spend??  :smiley:

I got the bumpers primed and painted. I got the following done:

- Front Chin Spoiler
- Rear Bumper
- Wing Mirror Attachments
- Side Skirts

Cost me £450

For changing the lights for the R32 smoked, it cost me i £25 installation plus the cost of the units from VW (i think they came to £160 for 2x inners and 2x outers). VW did not do the installation of the light units but they are installing a new one (to replace the one that is letting in moister) under warranty which is good)



Looks nice. What did you do to your wing mirrors?

The cover around the side where the wing mirror plugs into is like that dimply bumper material. I had those colourcoded aswell.

personally i think the car looks more aggresive now with all of it being colourcoded. Looks much better now in the sun and in the night under the light.

Why not go for a set of black alloys and make a proper colour coded car :cool:
