Wondering if the inner wheel arches were painted body colour from the factory or where they black? Specifically MKII S .

From pics Ive seen the rear appear to be body colur but the front is hard to see.

Whats your thoughts?

Cheers.

I left mine in underbody black this time, the paint chips off over time from stones and dirt.

You can always paint it with the black tarry sound deadner/chip protector stuff then paint body colour over the top

Yep that's what I did the previous couple of times. The paint chips off the flexible undercoat, so I gave it a miss this time.
