MK4 Rub strips

[VeeDubbin]

So i have a white MK4 and i am sick of seeing black rub strips front, sides & back. I think it ruins the overall look of the car.
How easy is it to have these removed and prepped/painted ?
or is it possible to purchase these from VW already painted in the factory white colour, then have a panel beater remove the original ones and fit the painted ones ?

Hi Veedubbin, not sure what you mean there. Yours are black or white? If they are white then get some GL ones if you are after black. Either way, if yours are black, VW would never pupply new ones prepainted in the white.
Cheers, Andrew

Oops, fixed.
Yeah i actually want them white. Has anyone had theirs colour coded to match?

Later model white Generations have white rub strips as standard.

Can't cost heaps to get painted though.

from experience with those things my opinion would be a) www.partsplus.com.au and find some rub strips in your colour that are colour coded already second hand.

or b) buy the smooth ones to get painted up.

reason i say this is, the panel beater will charge you more to high fill it and smoothen it becaues if they dont the tiny scratch u get will make it peal off straight away in most cases*.

i can recommend a good spray painter/panel beater for you near Mascot area if your interested.
