Snoopy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 It's also silver in that picture in your sig. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />I think they `colour-coded` it for the press shots. Glad mine is just black, I've scraped it far too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdwindustries Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 well that was what i meant really, but i suppose i have already answered it:it looks better paintedit cant be cos people keep hitting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Mines painted now and its a pain in the ass, the paints almost non excistant now.Looking at it now, I think black against a silver car looks better anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 u had ur front bumper repainted yet andi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 No not yet mate.Im gonna wait untill the summer now I think Paul, its a little too cold to be doing it.Also I know someone with a silver non GTi who is replacing his bonnet and doors with alloy ones so its gonna save me having to get a `re-spray`.

Snoopy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 My lower spoiler on the Ibiza was painted, when I scuffed that I was gutted, it looked a right mess.When I scuff the Lupo one, I don't really care (well, I tell myself to take more care next time!)

DanGTI Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 my front spoiler thingy was minced within the first week (sloping driveway)....as long as i dont catch the painted bit its fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
