Anyone added door mouldings to their Tig?

I got the Side Strips delivered today and put them on ,I think they match the car rather well, What do the rest of the Tiguan owners Think

Hi Ian, looking good!
It's a bit difficult to see from the photos, but how close to the colour and finish of the other bits of plastic on the Tig are your new door mouldings? Are they painted like you said earlier or just plain rubber/plastic? And how did you prep the paintwork to get any wax off before sticking them on?
Thanks.

No there painted to suite the existing. Plastics. And my car being Pepper grey. You can hardly notice them. I'm happy with them. Took over two week to arrive from Poland.

Yes I just rubbed some. Metho. Over the paint to remove any wax a lot cheaper than the VW ones @$760. These cost delivered just $120

Hi Ian, just so I understand that right - are you saying they come painted in "grey plastic" colour as standard, or are you saying you painted them pepper grey to match your paintwork? Thanks.

No they come painted to match the existing trim. I was thinking about painting them to match the car Pepper grey but I left them as I think they look better as they are. B

Ok, got it now. Yes they look pretty good, and at $120 what's not to like! Mine will be a white Tiguan so they will stand out a lot more, but maybe the 'utility' look isn't too bad for a diesel SUV. Afterall, if I'd wanted colour coordinated everything I'd have got an R-Line!
