there is non on ebay at the moment.

i did try spraying mine some time ago but kinda started bubbling after  :sad:

carbon fiber looks cool but i remember seeing the price was $100!!!!

this is the ebay member who sprays them, I'm sure if you contacted him, he would sort you out

Did mine myself... Front one needs a good prep first, then plenty of thin layers... It's stood the test of time well I think.

robin please let me know as i would like to order them  :smiley:

....Good news for me but I'm afraid it's bad news for you :sad: ....They have discontinued making them and have only one rear left in stock and it's got my name on it. I didn't ask why but I expect they weren't selling enough and they aren't cheap to produce. A good friend of mine runs a R32 and produces limited stuff privately in carbonfibre - I'm expecting to see him in a couple of weeks and will have a word.

However, I will keep my scouts on full alert and will tell you if anyone else produces them.

If you look really close up on my rear VW you can just make out the joint (thin white line LHS). You need to fit a stanley blade in between the joint and then twist apart. Do this all the way round until it comes off. After spraying just clip it back on.
Here's both taken off for spraying...

Is that the paint you used in the pics? Also what did you use to rub it down with just normal fine sandpaper?

Yes... I had mine change a while back and they fitted the new type like yours... The new ones fitted to the new golfs fit flush unlike mine which sit proud by about 5 or so mm

Just use normal wet and dry... Make sure you rub it down good, get all the chrome stuff off then clean in warm water and dry then spray...
