Another New VR6 Ownner

[DavoVR6]

I reccomend Autoglym's for the bumpers and arches - no sanding and I found out through trial and error that it lasts longer than shoe polish.
I sprayed my front badge with chrome paint and red paint to reflect the mk4 GTi badges. It looked quite good until I clear coated it and then it turned yuck, and after 6 months its starting to peel. For fiddly fun, paint it. For good results, buy a new one.


P.S Sorry for the big photo

Might give the shoe polish a go...the worst that can happen is that I have to spray em. Did you still have to give them a sand? Also, what about the weather (ie. rain) with the polish?

And I'd love to go all black with the badges black, but might be a bit much black.

Nah mate all you do is clean the textured bumper bits and then whack it on. It's amazing how it stays there, mine's been on for 4 months and I haven't reapplied it because if I do I can't see a difference (apart from initial shine which lasts a few days then sets in). The weather is also no problem for polish; it beads water

Also check out 'dom123' s car. His car is black with black badges..it's stealthy lol.

I got myself some polish and had a crack at it on a few parts. Looks MUCH better, but will need a few more coats to get all the "grey" out.

I'll put up some pics once I'm done!!
