Title: Colour coding - costs?
Post by: shoaybmakda on May 05, 2015, 06:22:36 pm: Hi all

Just a question to see how much people have paid to get their mk5 gtis colour coded?

I've just bought a ED30 rear valance for my mk5 and my painter has said he will do my entire back bumper and skirts for £360 (skirts will need sanding down etc but bumper is just paint)

Post by: Shoy1980 on May 05, 2015, 10:00:55 pm: I paid £300 for lower rear bumper, skirts, and front lip. All had to be smoothed.

Post by: AJP on May 05, 2015, 10:26:58 pm: I'm paying 400 for rear valance (GTI), skirts, and Ed30 front sprayed and fitted.

Could have maybe found somewhere a bit cheaper but I've got a lot of confidence in my bodyshop, I've used them for years and always had brilliant results.

It's in the bodyshop as we speak :-)

If you don't mind me asking where did you get your ED30 front from? Is it OEM?
Title: Re: Colour coding - costs?
Post by: AJP on May 06, 2015, 08:29:44 am: Yeah it's genuine. Got it from VW with a bit of discount.

Can I ask how much you picked it up for?
Title: Re: Colour coding - costs?
Post by: AJP on May 06, 2015, 11:20:16 pm: Can't remember exactly because it was along with a few other bits. I asked for the discount because I'd just forked out a considerable chunk on service, belt, pump, and a rear caliper.

Mid 200s at a guess.

Post by: shoaybmakda on May 25, 2015, 07:55:20 pm: Just to ask for those who got the front splitter put on - is it screwed on or clipped on? Took mine to the body shop and he said because my front splitter didn't have the relevant clips he couldn't fit it? I thought the bottom splitter was just screwed on? Admittedly mine isn't oem and it is a replica but there are tabs there to manually put screws into if necessary?
