I don't have the car anymore. But the paint was still fine when I switched to an up gti in March this year. You shouldn't need to worry about it being water based paint as they should clear coat over the top.

Thanks, I will have a look.

I have a dent in the drivers side quarter panel in front of the rear wheel. The paint is not damaged at all. I have consulted a number of PDR people and there consensus is that I need a body shop to fix. So can any members based in Surrey recommend any bodyshops locally. I have had 1 quote so far ...

I have the Anthracite once on my Blue Gt. To give you some idea of what you may want to sell them for a new one is £532 inc Vat.

Ricmondo Which colour did you order? Antracite?

Just so I could compare it to the cost of repainting I asked the dealer for the price of a new wheel and they said £532

I have the Anthracite Montani wheels on my BlueGT. Does anyone know any info on the paint code or similar for the anthracite ones. Or a company that can fix them and are able to match the colour as the guy that I have used before cannot match the colour.

My Blue Gt which I have had since July last year which I specced with Xenons does have the front fog lights and the upper and lower grills are just horizontal bars. I don't know about the cruise control. As far as the stereo swap goes I don't know the answer to that one. But as standard it has blue ...

That clears it up. In conjunction with the above query is it correct that the numbers on my dials don't light up position 1. All the button on the radio and steering wheel do.

I have Xenons in my Blue GT and was just wanting to check if mine are working as they should. As when I have the headlights on and select reverse gear or turn a corner additional light in the headlight clusters come one.

What I want to check though is when I move the headlight switch to 1st ...

I have been out in the dark and when I turn the lights to the first position all the steering wheel and radio buttons light up but not the dials. The needles are lit up but nothing else until I actually turn on the xenons.

Thanks for the info. I will go out this evening when it is dark and see if they illuminate then.

Daytime but quite low light levels. E.g. I noticed it this morning at 7:15 am driving to the station.

When you turn the headlight switch to the first position.

I have had my Blue Gt for a couple of months now and I have noticed that when I turn the sidelights on the instrument dials do not illuminate is this normal?
