Do you mean spray mounted? My first impression of 'sprayed on' was that it was painted on.

I wouldnt dream of fitting some to a car that doesnt have them though, I imagine it would be an absolute nightmare! What model mk3 have you got?

i beleive the phrase is "as rare as rocking-horse poo". it's some kind of odd vinyl thing - i stripped it off my old passenger side door in the hope of mounting it to the replacement, and it peeled away like the heat-shrink insulation on electrical cable - instantly ruined and no way you can re-mount it. fraid you might be a bit stuck unless you put out a "want it now" on ebay and someone running a New Old Stock store happens to be alerted by it when listing some.
