Colour Coded bumpers and Side Skirts

[GTI_GI]

Hey Guys has any one colour coded there rear bumper and side skirts to match the cars paint ? if so do you have any pics to see how it looks ? i am thinking of getting mine done

[markymark]

Do it, I love it!

[WhiteGTI]

Yep, here's mine...sets the car off I think!

Yep 

Big Picture  so linked it rather that fill the thread

If black I would get it all done, of white or red I would suggest doing what WhiteGTI has done, leaving the centre bit black - I think it add to the look

I would also be tempted to get some smoothed R32 side skirts and get those painted - you can get a set for around £70 and they will take the paint better - my original GTI skirts started to peel.

Hummm this is on my MUST do list. How much does it cost to get them all colour coded up?

The whole lot cost me around £450. I have had the bumpers wet-primed - meaning that the "bobbled" plastic effect has been smoothed out.

Thanks for the info mate, I take it most decent body work places will do this then and for around the same sort of price? I want a proper job done. First two mods that I want to do have added up to £1000 already lol

I got this done at a place in Maidenhead, Berkshire. They were more than happy to do the wet-priming. However, first of all I tried a recommended Porsche Approved bodyshop in Hertfordshire, however they said that the "smoothing" effect was unable to be achieved without purchasing new, already smoothed parts.

I guess it depends on the particular bodyshop you go to. I would recommend Parkford in Maidenhead. (don't worry, they don't specialse in Ford, their name is just coincidental. They are Windrush Volkswagen's recommended bodyshop.)

Ah right, thats not a million miles away. If I call my local stealer would they not be able to point me in the right direction of their recommended bodyshop as it will be much much closer to me?
