Try it out. Vinyl is cheap as chips so you can self wrap it see if you like it and if you do get it painted. If you don't the wrap comes off and you have the standard paint under it.

As Marcus (Bedford) says, wrap it yourself, see what it looks like. If you don't like it, peel it back off. No harm in trying :)

Should look ok, maybe do white with gold splatters.
Take a look at my 106 gti progress thread, i did 205 gti alloys in black with red splatters, Marcus even copied me and did his alloys the same :)
Something different :y:

I think I've seen Marcus ones are they black with green splats? I was thinking a fine gold glitter with white base

Na mine were black with red. like these. Was to cover a world of sins on the alloys. looks good though.
I think white and gold would go well.

An have the cam covers matching how do you do the splatter effect ?

Paint them in your base coat colour so white. Then put the colour of the splatter in a pot and flick the paint on using your finger and a old toothbrush. When the splatters dry give it a few coats of a clear coat. That's it really.

I've cleaned up this thread to remove the childish posts. The next personal attack / insult will win an infraction.

To the op what about a chequered roof?
moonstonechris
9th January 2013, 14:01
You could leave the roof gold and do darker gold chequer and then it would still be gold and white without too much white :)

I'd blank it up or try and see if you can get one made up so its a panel and not glass like the mk2 golfs :) I'd defo go matt gold or maybe satin? Loads of people are going matt I prefer satin looks more professional lol
