GTS Stripes - help please
GTS owners who have kept the stripes - can you help ??
I have done a search on the GTS stripes and it seems it is a love hate topic
Anyway, I really like the look of them but I can't find what I'm looking for
When I first saw the Scirocco when it was released here in 2012 it was love at first sight
There was never any though of owning one as it was totally out of my reach - and practicality
Just something to appreciate the look of but no thought of ever having one
Have only seen 4 on the road since then as they are somewhat of a rarity too
Then I saw some photos of the GTS model
I thought the Scirocco looked nice but the GTS takes it to another level IMHO of course
Well things change - been thinking about a car with better performance now for about 18 months
Initially was going to be an Abarth Competizione but they will not be releasing the 180hp version here
Also when compared to the Scirocco R, which is the only model we have, you get a lot more car for a little extra
So about 2 weeks back we paid the deposit and signed the contract for a white Scirroco R
Downside is that I won't pick it up till December - but that's another story
Have decided to put the GTS stripes on my R, but to be different to the GTS
I will run them to the bottom of the bumper, front and back
Now the problem is there are no GTS models around to measure the size and positioning of the stripes
Furthermore, being a new member to the forum I don't have the use of PM's yet
So I can't contact anyone direct who has one to ask them to measure for me
So my question is this
Can someone wit a GTS still with the stripes tell me how wide centre stripe is - black in my case
and how wide the outer thin red stripes are ?
Also, the width of the space between the two center stripes
and how far the red is away from the black
Hoping someone can help
Please

Thanks Phil
Badges will have to wait for a while as bonnet struts are on the shopping list after the new number plates in white on black background
Sciroccos are like hen's teeth here in Oz. I've had mine 2 months now and couple of days back saw the first one on the road - apart from mine
It was white as well and looked strangely "plain" without the stripes
Sorry about the photo - or lack of it - it is now my "signature"
Both the car and the stripes get a lot of attention - have had favourable comments about both
Most people have no idea what it is - one lady yesterday asked if it was a new model !!
Was surprised when I told her that it was released in 2008 although only available here since 2011

Hi Guys,
Could you help me out with the measures of the original factory default GTS stripes? I dont have one around me to check the sizes. I would like to have it also on my car.
Thanks a lot
Cheers,
Peter.
