MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

Shadowchrome turns the Golf’s flat sides into dark reflections, broken up by black flares and bright aero wheel faces. The thin red grille surround gives the front end a small but effective splash of color.

This release and its companion
Choosing one for your collection
Ask for a softly lit side photograph to reveal marks in the reflective finish. Inspect the deep front spoiler and the edges of the fender flares, then check that the closed hood sits evenly.
The aero wheel faces are prominent enough that scratches can distract from the whole car. For a carded example, inspect the inner blister and card separately from the outer protective clamshell.
Collector questions
