Which springs have you gone for? I've just bought a Scirocco GT. Definitely want to lower it, but not sure how much to! This one looks about how I want mine.

Shame that you didn't ask sooner just sold a brand new pair of these Wednesday for £100 for a friend.

Really want piano black dash trim pieces but I can't justify paying the price of them from The stealers. So the next best thing is either wrap my current ones or spray mine. didn't want to spray them that way I can revert to factory.
so that left me with wrapping them. I haven't got any gloss black vinyl and couldn't find any decent stuff cheap.

I had some spare carbon fibre vinyl lying around from when I wrapped my laptop. So I was bored yesterday and decided to wrap them . This is how they look. I decided to leave the centre console as it is because I think it breaks up the black dash nicely. Obviously not as good as piano black trim and I know not everyone is into carbon fibre. I'm not usually a fan of it but think it looks ok . It's also a change from the silver For now.

I really like the carbon fibre, you should do the middle too but it's probably a bit more tricky, I can't wrap for sht myself.

Try plasti dip, put a few coats of laquer over it for the gloss look but it's still easy to remove afterwards.

I would if I had some more. I only had a small amount left. was my 2nd time doing it. Worst bit is corners trying to get it nice and smooth with no creases.

A mate of mine painted my trim but any auto refinisher will be a fraction of the stealers price. I have worked in the thermoforming industry and don't understand how the dealers work out their prices for trim [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Finally got my dampers delivered and fitted straight away! Such a difference. Both looks and convenience. Apologies for the dirty car and engine bay, it's been a long week already! [emoji41]

Looks good. But like I said didn't want to get mine sprayed in case I wanted to revert back to stock silver.
