cheers

Not much at all - you can do it yourself just a can of reflex silver will do you fine - a thin coating is all they need

and a little lacquer

Paint code is A7W

surely just spraying over them will make them not work?

As long as it is a thin coat of paint they will work fine

Both VW and my bodyshop have confirmed this on mine

ah cheers..

i still might get a bodyshop to do it cuz then if they don't work i can blame them and stuff.. lol

how much paint would be needed to do the following:
reverse sensors.
lower front bumper.
rear front bumper.
side skirts.
spoiler.

cheers

Hard to say - a few litres probably. Call up a few bodyshops see what they will quote

Nice 9N mate, Welcome to the forum

.

...would defo look better with the sensors in silver - Bit wierd for VW to leave those black

. My parking sensors are in silver and they look much less protruding - defo worth getting those done

i'm gonna get a quote for the rest of the car to be c/c.

but i'll have to see what money and stuff i get for christmas/birthday.

trying to get my g/f to get me some german plates.
