Title: That black shiny thing on your door !
Post by: Fletch..gti on September 28, 2011, 04:00:30 pm: I noticed today that the black shiny gloss peace on my
Door as a chip in it . I have put a little paint on it but am not happy.

Seriously you can buy the shiney part from your dealer and it won't need painting.

Post by: stealthwolf on September 28, 2011, 04:37:49 pm: Some one posted the part number. Think you're talking about the plastic covers for the B-pillar. There's a thread on how to change it over too.

Post by: kevinm on September 28, 2011, 09:57:50 pm: I replaced mine because it got scratched. It was about €35 IIRC. I changed it in 5 minutes. The only tool needed was a Torx screwdriver (T20 I think).

I can get you the part number. Which door and how many doors do you have?

Post by: Teo10 on September 29, 2011, 04:13:42 pm: I think I might wrap mine in gloss black!

Allready have the windows tinted and got a more door so think the gloss black will give it that all black look from front to back!

Post by: zoomered on September 29, 2011, 05:08:25 pm: Can anyone confirm the part numbers for N/S and O/S, 3 door 05 gti, gloss black please.

Title: Re: That black shiny thing on your door !
Post by: kevinm on October 03, 2011, 08:39:45 am: The part numbers listed in the other thread are not valid part numbers. 1K6 refers to the trim for the rear doors but the rest of the part number is different (1K6 839 901 A).

My ETKA is the current up to date version btw.
