well went to local dealer today he confirmed that the w/s is not vw .  explained that some of the gtis came out with the top tint (like mine) but hard to prove to autoglass.  mine is 2005. 

really want my old w/s back.  sick of this crap

you can see my blue tinted windscreen on this thread: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=78369.0

Sorry to go off topic but maxamus, I notice you have had your car colour coded.  Any chance you have some closish pics from the rear?  Also a few questions :rolleyes:

Are you glad you had it done?
Did you buy the primed r32 skirts or were all the plastics flattened and painted?
Are they wearing ok, i.e stone chips etc
And if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost??

Its something i've been toying with for over 2 years now and having now decided the gti is staying a couple more years, i feel like spending some money on it.  Colour coding, remap and possibly putting the ed30 rear valance on are all tempting options :grin:












1. Yes i am glad i had it done. Best thing i have had done to improve the look of the GTI. Car now looks more sportier and makes it look as if its got a bodykit. Light reflects more now aswell due to the paint work extending all the way.
2. The existing plastic bumpers/panels were flattened and primed and then painted.
3. Wearing just fine. No stone chips yet and paint still in immaculate condition.
4. Getting the front chin spoiler, rear valance, 2 side skirts and wing mirrors done cost me £450

If your going to get your gti colourcoded then make sure you change the lights for the R32 smoked ones!
