I sure did! Cleaned them first with some special cleaning foam stuff then painted straight onto them. Washed the car last nite and havent had a problem with paint coming off, running or looking crappy so Im happy enough!Originally posted by Pullstarter View PostDid you spray straight onto the textured bumper parts without sanding them?
Matty T, thanks! I thought I read somewhere else they were prone to breaking, so I wasnt overly surprised when I realised it might be the problem!
Anyone have any idea how much they cost to replace?sigpic

It is a nice colour and I am yet to see another MK3 with the same silver!
I wish I did have foggies, but alas I dont, sorry
Looking at getting some to go in the lower vents

You have to watch out, the NA ones won't fit. Will require some modding (i.e. cutting). They do the same with Euro parts.Originally posted by Mrk_Mickey View PostYeah, I've seen them sprayed onto American eBay..are these trustworthy though?
I just did an audio install too Lorenz, and loving it
Mine does, however, rattle A LOT, but have put on Dynamat around the important places and now doesn't rattle at all
I love it!

Agreed Lorenz, DIY the stuff you can do, and save the money for the stuff you can't (like a good quality coilover
)
