Finally got round to spraying my edges red today after many dissapointing times with the red tape lol. I know its been done but i'm pretty chuffed with it and thought i'd show it off!

Also slapped my black badge in.

woo

Looks good mate, nice and clean. Out of interest, where did you purchase the black badge - straight from VW? The black look has been growing on me recently!

lots of masking tape and newspaper to make sure you dont get any red bits where you dont want it, just line the masking tape up (it was quite hard to get the line as straight as possible round the edge) just roughed it down with some sandpaper, primered it, sprayed it, laquered it slightly.
