Anti Chip Paint

Recommended Posts

:)

Did all 205 GTI 1.9's have anti-chip paint at the base of the front quarter, in the area below the body moulding plastic?

 

By anti-chip paint I mean that thicker slightly rough looking paint, still same colour as rest of body.

On the bottom of the front wings, yes. It's absence is usually a good reason to be suspicious of replacement panels and possible accident damage...

timmsy19, I think you're refering to the small anti-chip 'stickers', rather than the paint found on the bottom sections of the front wings.

 

The only place I've seen them on a 205 are the places you mention, the leading edges of the door and rear ¼.

was the anti chip paint also applied to the bottom of the sills? ive always wondered why its "rougher" than the body panels.
