It also looks much more boring and taxi like. Which I suppose makes sense since it was a taxi.

Both look like taxis, both prob have been taxis.

both look as boring as it gets tbh

Lol you guys are so cutting. Granted they are both boring as all hell.

Mine looks alright in better light. And it hasn't been a taxi, mileage is nowhere near high enough. Unless it was a taxi for about a year.

Need to get some blackener on the mouldings.

A heat gun also works if we're feeling a bit less drastic!

You do need to be careful through. I warped a scuttle panel once using the heat gun method!

I was being serious, as shown above, I get why you thought it was a dig at your car though

going off the peanut butter are we?

Wizardskills · 22 Aug 2016 at 15:34

How long does the blackening last if you go over them with a heat gun or blow torch?

Cookeh · 22 Aug 2016 at 16:00

Its debatable. Can last weeks, or months - really rather depends on the plastic and how much/long you heat it for. Dye's/feeds are a much better option, generally.

Mustard is best.

I used waterproof boot polish on the Polo ones... It looked good for a few days and then went patchy.

Blackhawk47 · 23 Aug 2016 at 20:24

As good as the new TT is...I still miss my old one, and miss 50mpg.

Akagi · 23 Aug 2016 at 21:02

Old one looked much better...

Should have bought a second hand MK2 TTS instead of your new one!

You mean I should have bought a second hand MK2 TTS instead of the Mk2 TDI one above.

I should have been more patient before trading the A1 in.

Should have bought an r8 m8.
