Hello everyone

I'm trying to check up on the things I will need to take care of closer to the summer time with MK8. I don't have the LSC model but I would like to get all that chrome parts blacked out. I tried painting it several years ago and it worked great for a while but right now all that paint is coming off and it looks freaking terrible. Is there a place were I can get LSC replacement panels like front and back grill light covers or what would be the best way to get it done all in black especially the side window and door panel stripe.

Another question would be about suspension. It seems that there is a leak in a system as every time I start up the car it needs at least 30 seconds to pump air and if I leave it for a day or two the front end completely dropssssssss to the floor. I've seen those coil over replacement kits. How good are they and is the ride quality effected in any way?

And last question for now would be when I'm braking especially when the car almost comes to a stop it feels as if the disc brakes are warped because the car starts wobbling like ABS is going of or something which doesn't light up.

Oh and here are the pictures

 
Welcome. If I were you, I would just repaint the same pieces over again. Buying the new parts will cost big bucks.
I have heard from several others that spring ride just does not quite measure up to air.

Thanks. Do you know by any chance how can I remove the side trim on the door and around windows?
 
Just have a pro do the paint next time It will not flake off
side windows are the same as LSC
For the susp. just find the leak
And sounds like you need a break job Do this yourself shop rip you off for somthing so simple

Is there a guide on this site by any chance on how to check air leak because there is only so much I know about this setup and especially a way to trouble shoot it.
