A quick before and after of the re-painted the grills, fog lamp grills and re-wrapped red strip. Made the car look brand new. Used AutoTek bumper and trim paint with a satin lacquer.

Looks good.  I also used the Autotek paint on mine.  Still looking really good after (I think) 4 years.  Grill is fine, but the lower grills are chipped but hardly noticeable.

How did you remove the central lower grill?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

@stealthwolf There is a row of clips on the top and bottom, I pried them out with a screw driver and pulled them out. Have to be careful tho as they can snap quite easily
