Exhaust Valance -- plasti dip done!!!

[Gino936]

What product did you use for the clear coat? I will be doing this this weekend.

... you slide this on and it tightens onto them... You have a hole, that ... head sticks into the O, and it slides down the shaft and tightens itself on. There are at least 6-8 of them on each side that you have to line up.

Hope that explains it better. If not, I can maybe take one ... tomorrow and take some pics.

BAahAHHahAHahAHahaHAhahAHAhahahAHHahahAHhahahaa

Someone's mind had to be in the gutter! LMAO ^^ I didn't even catch onto it until he wrote that. I think it looks good though. I think I'm gonna try this with their glossifier. See how the results are.

Okay, i am hoping someone can help me here.. 2011 TORNADO RED GTI. before doing this project, did any of you notice a sticker on the valance? back side of it. with the markings "Schich 2" followed by a date? mine says 08.02.2011. my car was purchased new in 6/11.. Can anyone confirm that the date on their sticker is in sequence with(or prior to) the manufacture date of car? I purchased CPO with clean carfax, dealer told me that car was ALL ORIGINAL. I have found many flaws that show the car was in accident, for example, left bumper bracket is bent and exposing raw metal. as well as a bunch of black "sealant" type rubbery stuff sprayed all around over bolts, brackets, ect.. The bumper, and passenger rear quarter panel resprayed, up to the door, from roof down. clear-coat is peeling on tape line at roof. I am now attempting to prove to VW CORP that it was indeed in accident. i've had car for almost 2 months. (now also trying to prove this valance was replaced after 6/11, and prior to my purchase. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just did the plastidip on the sides and the rear. Looks great! Here's a shot of stock vs plastidip

I'm planning on doing it this weekend. Do I need to spray the inside as well? Or just the outside? How many cans do you think I'll need to hit the rear valence and some bits inside the engine compartment?

I'd get 2, maybe 3. No need to stay inside.

Oh, on another note, I did my front guards and side moldings today. Finally. Gives the car a clean look, especially on CSG.

08.02.2011 is feb 8th, 2011. Remember they do their dates backwards in the EU.

I attatched 2 pictures. The driver side what looks to be a bracket, is bent and exposing bare metal. Who the hell sprays that black shit all over like that? and how did the dealership not notice this when they did their "112 point inspection" which dosen't seen like it was completed thoroughly. any thoughts?
