Title: Painted or Plastic?
Post by: ollie288 on December 24, 2009, 11:41:17 pm: I am after some GTI/R32 sideskirts. I will be getting them colour coded to my car. (Laser Blue) My question is would I be better off buying R32 painted ones and getting them repainted to match or GTI textured ones and painting those?
I assume the R32 would be the best option?
Basically I want the ones that will give the best finish and colour match.
Cheers
Ollie :happy2:

I'm in the process of getting my GTI rear valance colour coded on my GT-TDI which is costing a small fortune for what it is due to having to smooth the surface first.
