Me too - looking to get it done over the next few months.  ED2708 - if you get it done (assuming someone provides a good place) can you post pics and comments on finish) - some people say it's better to get ED30 or R32 skirts as they are primed for paint, unlike the GTI's which I think need rubbin down like the rear bumper

A good bodyshop will achieve a perfect finish on the gti skirts.  Besides, R32 primed skirts are now £180 a side or £170 a side from vagparts.com as i confirmed the other day huge price rise

I presumed standard black plastic meant they were overpriced gti skirts??

Aren't primed skirts cream/grey in colour

[ed2708]

no good bodyshops as of yet??? come on guys i need help
ed2708 is my number plate.
ive been recommended one in urmston and they reckon maybe £300-£400 quid. this seem fair to anyone?

Think Maxamus paid £450 but not a bodyshop in the North West.

How long did the Urmston place say they would have the car (if indeed they did)?

I take it the bumper and skirts get taken off and sprayed - I would hope so...
