its never been done before...duhhh

Doh!............silly me

cant believe its held up for that long.

thought i was a f*****g idiot, i should of just left the reflectors in and fillered over them. kinda shot myself in the foot

This is how My GTI Looks Now

not feeling those wheels at all, prefer the pictures a few pages back with standard wheels on!

have you got a 5 door moulding on your passenger door?

German type plates would look good on this

i agree with johnny, them wheels are awful. whats with the huge side skirts too ?

I'm not feeling this dude, it's a bit mish mash if you get me..too many things going on....to pull off the side skirts would mean atleast having a vr6 or larger splitter as it doesn't level with the other, also the bumper looks way out of place as it's all smoothed but you retain the arch trims and textured section on the rear bumper, maybe if you glossed them all and lost the texture it would tie in better???

Wheels don't look too bad but i still think you should put the venoms back on in black!!

I appreciate the amount of work but sorry doesnt tick any boxes for me.

loose the skirts mate.

would be decent if you lost the headlights, the skirts, smoothed the indicators in teh bumper or sprayed them black and slammed it

kind of agree with Jay in some respects, obviously its your car and everyone appreciates different things which is what makes modifying interesting, but saying that i think a VR6 splitter would help tie the front in with the sideskirts.

do you really have venoms? as 90's styling is 'in' this year then the morettes coupled with a nice drop over a set of high silver venoms would be killer.

what the difference between a gti and vr6 splitter>?

some VR6's (not sure if its early or late model?) came with a deep chin spoiler which is the same depth all the way round. the standard GTi splitter is what you've got on at the mo, its deeper in the middle than the edges.

search on eBay and you'll see the difference

This is mine witha vr6 splitter, sits deeper and more in line with the sills as its the same depth all around



This is when i had a standard/gti splitter which is shallower and tapers in to the side of the bumper



Hope that helps.
