plastic/vinyl covering for exterior of B pillar

[acidstrato]

is this a dealer part? or something i could pick up at halfords?


my pressure washer just destroyed it

 

[Mat]

I'd assume dealer part (think i read on here once saying the same)

But I'm sure you could get it vinyl covered somewhere else. However, that may mean removing other side so both match exact

 

[acidstrato]

well i am contemplating ripping the whole thing off now....could work? golfs dont have it

anyone done this?

 

[Mat]

make sure you post pics fella

make sure you having something like Tar & Glue remover incase it leave crap behind

 

[antnee]

Or just put vinyl over the other side to match?

 

[Mat]

could do, but i'm soooo anal/ocd that that would therefore make once side thicker than the other. LMAO

Plus, think of the weight balance. instead of being 50/50, it'd be 49.9999999/50.0000001 LMAO

 

[cus]

what do people think of taking the vinyl off? i fancy doing it you see

 

[Matt S!]

I've thought of removing the door vinyl ....

 

[ian_cupra]

nice one ian

cant say i'm a fan tbh

Keep the vinyl mate, looks poverty spec without it.

spot on i think
even with my colou coded bumper i dont think it'll look good. straight down the dealers after work on monday me thinks

 

[ian_cupra]

no worries, does look better on though

 

[nogutsnoglory]

Lol, that was my old thread.

I'm still not so sure though! (pic not mine by the way)

 

[ian_cupra]

i think the black breaks up the colour, too much of one colour doesnt look good

 

[nogutsnoglory]

I think it looks subtle.

 

[Dan1.6]

i like it
im not sure but i think the 1.4s don't have them on but im not 100% sure on that

 

[antnee]

I think they look better with the black b pillars, its more of an upmarket thing I think. Looks better if you have tints too

I've been tempted to remove mine since i posted that thread ages ago. Think it works on the blue but not sure on the other colours imo.

yeah let me know how difficult it is to remove the rear panel one, looks like taking the rear qtr glass is the easiest way to do a decent job. i had a go at scraping it with a blade but the adhesive looks like it could take some effort. personally though, the lips at the top an bottom of the panels make it look as if something is missing. needs to be smooth really
