That my friend looks like a colour coded Startline front end. This is a one piece unit Where the grille is connected to the bumper. I think you can fit a Sportline front spoiler to it but not too sure about a splitter or fog lights.
the sections where the fog lights should be come out. I took them out today to paint them black to match the rest
Hi...Do you have a colour theme for the interior that you could bring out to match a coloured splitter and colour’d grill trim ..or could put lazer lamps in the grill and fog lights
As we speak I'm getting her wrapped two tone candy apple red with white top and the interior cabinets are getting wrapped in the same red. The grill trim will get changed from silver to red and the background of the VW badge will also be red.
Pretty much yes
I'm not sure if front fogs are an easy option. I think the whole bumper on yours is one piece, where as a Highline isn't. Even cutting out the holes, might not work if there isn't the location brackets and moulded parts to actually screw the fogs into.
You could just swap it for a Highline front bumper, but they are rare 2nd hand and cost a fortune if complete, then there's painting and fitting, it could end up being an expensive project.
I'm not a huge fan of the front fogs anyway, but if that was mine and you are dealing with a wrapping company anyway, i'd have them Gloss Black the lower fog light panel right across to the number plate, so it looks the same as a Highline, just without the fog lights, plus the Gloss Black would match the Black grill and bumper inserts, and standing back you wouldn't notice it's not a Highline and it would have the effect of breaking up all that White on your front bumper.
An easy way to test out my theory is use Black insulation tape and do what a wrap company would do, then stand back. This will give you an instant visual to see if it works or not.

The bottom inserts are getting painted gloss black to match while its in getting wrapped so will wait and see what it looks like later when I I hopefully get it back. Thx
So you are getting the cabinets wrapped? I didn’t know that was possible. Is it literally the same material and process as used for the exterior? It would be great to see some before and after photos
Exactly the same process i believe. As long as the material you are covering is like a high gloss finish the vinyl will stick. I will post pics once its finishedSo you are getting the cabinets wrapped? I didn’t know that was possible. Is it literally the same material and process as used for the exterior?
