Have always been a fan of Davefish's car on the r32oc.com and have seen what hes done to his car and personally i love it! Iv covered the silver strips with black tape, did that in about november but its starting to peel off now and after finally being able to put on the carbon fibre badges iv decided its about time i went for the plunge and just get it done! Iv got some pics i want to upload of how the car stands at the moment but took the pics on my phone and the bluetooth is being gay! Will try and upload some abit later so you get the idea!  :smiley:

Option 1.

Option2 IMO would look better on a darker car, say black.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

After a long day of going around from garage to garage i finally managed to find some one to fit my carbon fibre badges and to paint the grill to a descent standard and then paint it properly abit later on! Here are a few pictures of how the car stands now:









Whats left for the car is to get the front grill painted matt black and the .:R32 badges aswell! Hopefully this will be done by tomorrow so will post some pics then!

Thanks!  :happy2:

yeah i agree.. just spray the whole thing black.. the silver effect only looks cool on teh original blue r colour.

with yours being red it would look cool with a matte black grille.
