5-door & GTC covers fit all models (COVERS ONLY).

Could you not buy any colour and paint them gloss black or wrap yours Gloss black?

Its really easy tbh all you do is use 1500+ sand paper to scuff it a little and use isopropyl alcohol to degrease it, spray it a tiny bit so it looks like stars at night and leave it 5 mins and gradually get thicker layers always making sure you go over the edges (its just better) and leave 10/15 between the wet coats (thicker) and then when about 5/6 coats in and your happy with how thick the paint is leave it for 24 hours and scuff it very slightly then put a few layers of lacquer on it (the lacquer will bring the shine dont worry) see easy
