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 :D

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 ;)

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.

Nice 9N mate, Welcome to the forum 8) .

...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
