    $250 is a cheap price... unless your doing it yourself..

    Be aware Matty that plastic parts will need the correct addatives in the paint ( flex agent) and possibly a different primer depending what type of paint your asking for.
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,
    Grant...

    I just want it to be the exact same colour as the body of the car.

    I'm going to get a few more quotes tomorrow but will probably end up taking it to lombardi. They were utter professionals and zero BS - I like that. Also 2 aston martins parked out the front was nice, heh.

    They had a little purgoet they'd just done a full respray on, it looked amaaaaazing. I'd love to do that for my car... pitty that they quoted me $9k for it

    Be aware that one of the members of the GolfMkV forum got his rear GTI bumper colour coded by Lombardi (via the Osb Park dealership before delivery) and sent it back, because they hadn't bothered to smooth it off first - so they ain't perfect either.

    Tinto, that's probably why they say they wont usually do colour coding?! BTW I said the wheels looked too big, nothing about being confused - haha!

    oh yeah... "wheels too big for a car that car jacked up" comments of this ilk cut deep and cause a guy to buy wider wheels to stretch the tyres and coilovers. heheh who said peer pressure was dead?

    I popped back out to Lombardis today, so they could look at the skirts and they said they didn't want to do it unless i could leave the car there for a couple of days.

    I have a feeling they are more interested in the insurance jobs they get - and they have a hell of a lot of those. The guy i spoke to went so far as to say all their accident jobs get priority.

    So I'll take it to a place where they're actually interested in doing an easy job for some quick cash. VW did recommend someone, so I'll give him a call (should have just done this first).

    Please keep us in the loop about this tinto. I still want to get my Jetta skirts painted and am still having trouble finding someone to do this for a fair price.

    I just want to get mine fitted (not painted) - I quite like them in black
    Matches the nappy at the back and the lip spoiler.

    But I'll ask the guy VW recommended if he does colour coding too.

    It might have been! T'was red. Brrilliant glossy red.

    If you just want the bodykit fitted dude, go to a mechanic?? Golfwagen would probably do it for you in 30 mins...

    Honestly the people I spoke to at lombardi were happy to do the job and said they could do it in a day. I'm not sure why they would say otherwise. I have heard several less-than-positive stories about their work though so hence I'm still going to chase up some more quotes. Preferrably from a place NoR.
