Title: GTI vs R32 skirts
Post by: sambo on June 11, 2009, 08:45:02 pm

Hi,

Is there any differance other than the textured effect on the GTI's? Looking to colour code.

Cheers, Sam

Quick reply, thanks!   :jumpmove:

Do people generally just get the originals painted then? Sure most reputable body shops could get a decent finish after a bit of rubbing down?

I thought that the R32 ones were smooth and the GTI ones had a texture to them which needed sanding down before it would accept paint? :confused:
