A whole load of filler is not light weight lol..
Yeah unfortunately its a big job, by all means look into it to confirm this though. I got that info from the guy that owns the car in the pics..

Removing the side stripes is a nice mod on er... "lesser" VWs (Did this on my Lupo).
I assumed the MK5's would be fixed with adhesive tape and clips/pins, which would mean there would be holes to fill.

This suits the MKV three door so well. David Kennedy (PVW writer) has it done to his three door MKV GTI and it looks the bollox. Shame it costs so much to do! :sad:

this is a big cost to do this, as said there are mounting holes underneath so they need to be filled then blended flat again, then the whole side of the car resprayed...and depending on your colour you may need to have the roof/hatch/bonnet all blown over to blend in. also add the strip down and build up of your trims and panel removal and your into serious cash
you've got to really want it, personally with my car being candy i think it adds a necessary detail to the side :chicken:

LOL, thats a ridiculous mod IMO! All that effort just to remove something so small!!
I'd rather keep it!
Shame though, as I agree that it looks great!
Thank you everyone for your help! :happy2:
