MK8 / MK8.5 GTI & Golf R Painted Front Reflectors – IND
Dylan Palella July 28, 2025
At IND, our expertise in painted components has traditionally focused on BMW models—but after receiving overwhelming demand from the Volkswagen community, we knew we had to bring that same attention to detail to the MK8 and MK8.5 GTI and Golf R platforms. Rather than rely solely on factory paint codes, we collaborated directly with MK8 owners to obtain fuel doors from actual production vehicles. This allowed our paint team to create custom-tinted formulas, ensuring a near-perfect match to OEM finishes—just like we do with our BMW offerings.
Each reflector follows the same meticulous paint process we’ve refined over the years:
- Hand sanding
- Primer application
- Custom-mixed paint
- Multiple layers of clear coat
The reflectors are then double-baked, allowing customers to apply paint protection film immediately if desired.
Key Features:
- Custom-matched using OEM Volkswagen paint codes and real vehicle panels
- Direct replacement for factory orange front reflectors
- Precision fitment for MK8 / MK8.5 GTI and Golf R
- Sleek, color-matched look for a cleaner front-end appearance
- Painted in-house by IND Distribution in the USA
