That looks mint Mat, what are the cut edges like, do you have any pics?, wish i hadn't seen it, wonder what a white S3, black grill and dark alloys would look like 8)
-

They did me a good deal so cant say :wink: but they have place all over the country just ring the number on the 4 x 4 and tell the Mathew with the white GTI sent you and they should do you a good deal
-
Looks stunning Mat. Really looking forward to seeing it tomorrow!
Interesting what you have done to the roof spoiler, Im not sure whether to get the whole spoiler done when I do it to mine!
Its only a matter of time before I do it to mine, been planning it for about 6 months now, but just havent had the time and the money!

....
That black roof looks a lot better than I expected! I'm not a fan of adding vinyl/plastic sheet!!
I doubt it would look good on anything other than Candy White. They definitely did the right thing with the roof spoiler imo.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh tomorrow.

What are your thoughts guys on the GTI textured side skirts wrapped. :chicken:

Sorry didn't explain myself to well, if say i was to get a new rear bumper sprayed in white, if the vinyl was a good colour match. I know your now just going to say well spray them as well but this would be considerably cheaper and not permanent. :chicken:

^^^^
Could be tricky with the complex curves but only an experienced fitter would know if that is so.

I thought it was just a shrink wrap.

Looks great Matt! :happy2:

....

i had better clean it again as i only did it this morning at 8 o clock so will be doing it again in the morning :grin:

Looks really nice, as red said probably works best on CW. :happy2:
-
Really like that Mat. Will certainly be having a closer inspection in a few hours, that's for sure.. :wink:
-
great :happy2:

....
That black vinyl roof works really well in the flesh - You can't tell it's been added (unless you were to get a step ladder and a magnifying glass!). It suits Candy white perfectly imo.

What are your thoughts guys on the GTI textured side skirts wrapped. :chicken:
TC, i bought a reel of white tape on ebay am just waiting for it to come, but i plan on mocking up the side skirts with it.
but only cover down to the rear bit to where the line is before it then goes up (stone chip bit) if that makes sense. as ours have that line in and eddys/r32s are flush all the way down.
i want to stand back from it and veiw from a distance, if it looks ok, then have them sprayed, and at the same time have the front lip done but leave the mouth bit black. just a thought nothing to loose, just a play.
PS, your indicaters (rear) do flash LED, look good
-
Looks awesome! I've thought about doing this to my GTI for the past 2 months, but was undecided & hadn't witnessed any pics.
