MkV GT TDI 170 DSG - Blue Graphite [Sunday Clean]
MikLSP:
It's a shame yes but they're not totally ruined. The dishonesty from the driver is more irritating.
I wasn't intending to paint them no, at least not at this time, I do like the black plastic trim actually. I'm not sure what's available but surely some sort of black plastic filler would do the job if applied with care :smiley:
Andy:
bloody couriers :fighting:-As dodds says if you are getting the colour coded a body shop can plastic weld it and sort it out...If you are leaving them black then the only way is to replace it
MikLSP:
I'm more optimistic and I think the current fix is holding fairly solid, it's just closing up the splayed mouth of the crack that I need to do.
Has anyone ever tried this sort of stuff?
MikLSP:
This weekends job was fitting the GTi rear valance, the Mrs is picking up the tow eye cover from VW today for £6-odd. (EDIT: specifically, it was £6.25 and she even fit it to the car for me :smiley:)
I'm actually a little undecided at the moment, obviously I prefer the contoured valance but something looks a bit off and I'm not used to it yet. It might just be because I've lost the mud flaps and I happen to think they look good so I'll probably end up getting the GTi flaps.
On the subject of mud flaps, I took all four off the car while doing this, seeing as the front ones will need to come off when the skirts go on, and I was rather surprised to find great amounts of dirt packed in the sil behind the front arch liner!
Andy:
need to pain the bottom valance :happy2:
