In that case the centre splitter is seperate and can be taken off to paint/vinyl wrap! :happy2: My first GTI (now Markymarks) has this done too! :happy2:

If you get under at the front there are just a few screws holding it in place. Your probably better getting a bodyshop to do it, shouldn't be much more than 50-70 squids! :happy2:

....Funny, Marky told me that you copied him, but also that you were a bit sensitive about it, so perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned anything :evilgrin:
