Do replica gtis annoy you I'm starting to see a fair bit of fakes on the road and R32s I hate them lol
-
Cant stand them, its almost ok if they dont badge it but very annoying if they do. I make a point of showing them why its an R '32' by making the 3.2 howl as i go past!

Theres a goon near me with a 1.4 with R32 wheels and badges, completely standard apart from that..
GOON

Problem is its probably as quick as an R32 so no one will notice :signLOL:
-
If someone wants to spend their hard earned making a car look like something it isn't then good on you I say! :happy2:
But whatever you do don't put a badge on it trying to 'pretend' it actually is! :fighting: :fighting:

Yup, thats it..

Lol I saw a black gti it had the gti badge on the rear boot lid on the right instead of left and had two small skinny exhaust poking out the lower bumper made to look like the gtis then he had the cheek to look in his rear view mirror and speed off as if he is in the real thing

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Some people might not be in the position to afford to buy/run a gti/r32. So a replica is ideal. Just as long as its not badged up as a gti/r32

i only have the wheels on sorry guys :notworthy: :notworthy:

Is that a silver one Jonny? Think I have seen it about.
Was riding round looking like an R32 except it still had the standard rear bumper, and a friend of a friend who has an R32 had his rear bumper stolen overnight whilst parked on his drive and then a few days later the R32 rep had an R32 rear bumper without the exhaust! :signLOL:

+1.
I would never make a car look like something it isn't.
As for insurance, how many of these people are gonna inform them they've turned their non-GTI to look like a GTI? I'd imagine not many!
-

sh*t the bed, I'd better remove my splitter at once! :signLOL:

19's so it looks better........... :pomppomp:

iv seen replica gti's that are fully loaded and look better than the real gti's
i myself own a replica gti and a real 1 and i more thing iv seen 200bhp gt tdi leave a 200 bhp gti at the lights so just because you own the real deal dont make it all that
you should come huddersfield mate ill show you gti replicas that you wont be able to tell apart unless you open the bonnet.
and r32's aint all that there just hyped up drug dealer cars round here i see 17/18 year old kids rag the sh?@ out of them

Yeah it is, the guy who drives it is a complete ****.. Wouldn't surprise me if it was them responsible..
-
the term replica makes me smile, whats wrong with fake :evilgrin:
-
if that was my bumper id take a few lads round wid bats/hammers and cave his head in then take it back :evilgrin:
-
Dont mind sorted replicas, what I do hate is people with boggo models with no mods sticking on GTI,BMW M or Audi S badges.
There is a Fiat punto round my way where someone has stuck on VW TDI badges and polo 16v badge :grin:
-
.he's what you call a silly cu@? :happy2:
-
....
Yes, it's the badges which cause the offence if they aren't true. I don't quite understand someone going to the trouble of creating a replica but we're all different.
A guy I know locally has made his Mk5 TDI look like a GTI and done it very well but of his own accord he is against badging it as a GTI. When I gave him a spirited ride in mine to show him what a real GTI was like he was gobsmacked!
-
Im with Greenouse :pomppomp: I dont mind fake unless its badged up thats why mine has no badges at all :chicken:

I also tried to keep it low key so it doesn't initially stand out has a GTI, Im also bored of the gti look so on the look out for the Jetta/GT front end now,
I tested loads of cars before I decided on my current GT tdi sport, I dont regret it one bit, Although I will be waiting for the price of the new GTi to come down cos im quite liking them now they've grown on me. :happy2:

^^^^
Darren, have you ever thought about adding a red lip on the front splitter and some black wheels with red edges? :wink: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
I assume you'll be selling her as is and not put back to original GT.
-
Ive Put a GTD badge on mine! is that not cool? haha!
i dont know why im asking like i care, cos to be honest, i dont! im sure you purists agains reps wont mind me using a GTD badge.
Btw...i do cringe when i see a 316i with 16" rims with an M3 badge! haha!
-
you should come huddersfield mate ill show you gti replicas that you wont be able to tell apart unless you open the bonnet.
Huddersfield is where its at homey!

-
he is spot on Tom with the r32/gti reps over our way brug cars :rolleye:
-
i agree with all that is said here,
no point badging a car with an engine model when it isnt that engine as you will just be embarrased when you come up against one........ apart from a mapped r32 in my case :grin:
kept my tsi badge :happy2:

There's some dude who lives near me in Lindley who has got a black TDI (I suspect) that looks absolutely identical to my GTi. There's another steel grey car with a red splitter that I presume isn't a proper GTi. It's crazy, I'll never understand why these people don't dedicate their time and money to affording the real thing. It's a thumbs down from me.

Insurance may be a major factor with this as depending on their age Insurer's may refuse to insure them on a 'real' version of whatever it is they are attempting to copy. :happy2:
I'm sure most of us have suffered at the hands of a big nasty Insurance company trying to charge you double what the car is worth!!!! Don't be a hater Mr Parker! :wink:
-
ok,,,, jumping in...... for what its worth its ETTO and i think most gti owners can see an "engineered " item but if it looks good i can appreciate the time thought and moolah put into it.some of the build threads iv read are just mindblowing for the ingenuity and the work processes gone in to them so for those guys :congrats:
it does make me laugh if they badge it up to be something its not but it aint gonna hurt my feelings so i just shrug and laugh.
and at the end of the day if you cant afford a gti/r32 or the insurance/tax then building one aint a bad option.........
BUT...... if they are gonna do it, make it look good cos if people see crappy looking shoddy stuck on chavmobiles then it makes everyone question the quality of a veedub in general.
i dont wanna be associated with a16yr old with a naff lookylikey!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh breathe,, feel better now :ashamed:

I follow your conclusions, at the same time i have the r32 badge on the r32 front of my gti, is that wrong?
I would love to get an r20 badge made but it has to look original.
Without the r32 the front looks like a jetta, and i ustify my r32 badge with the car having 318hk and as nearest round number is 320 and of with the zero, there you have= 32 :jumping:
And with the other mods the r is justified :innocent:
Anyone here able to make a r20 badge tha fits the r32 front???
-
Well, I'm with mortygttdi and JPC on this one.
My '08 170GT TDI has GTI side skirts and grilles and a lovely colour coded rear GTI Bumper covering my removable towbar. (All genuine VAG parts and noted by my insurers)
It also has GTD badges front and rear.....
Does that make me 'beyond the pale' or a leper? :laugh:
I think not - I really think what I've done is entirely tasteful -and no different in essence to the many 'mods' - both cosmetic and performance - that lots of folks on here have carried out?
Some of you will know that I joined this happy band as a Revo'd GTI owner (Steel Grey '07 MY), but being retired, I now enjoy the lower running costs, greater economy and brisk cruising that my 'oiler' gives me!
And it certainly isn't about money in my case.....
Hey we're all chums here aren't we? :happy2:
-
andrewparker is the 1 nere you parked on cowrakes rd if yes thats mine.
the steel grey is my mates and there a black1 with a red lip is 1 of my mates 2 iv just got a smashed 3dr witch will be on rd soon good to no huddersfield on the map
:P

Maybe they can afford them? An R32 is hardly expensive, i look young and rag the sh*t out of mine :evilgrin:
If the real deal isnt all that then why have you gone to such lengths to copy it? Maybe you should get some imagination and do something different.
-
Back in the day, the early nineties, I always fancied getting a sapphire cosworth and taking it the opposite way, by making it look like a 1.6L, would have been great fun in the traffic light grand prix.
-
lol iv had the real deal in both r32 and gti just fined it a bit much to run still have a gti mate.
and i like spending money on my car to make it look nice. but id rather live in a big house than drive round all day putting petrol in my car when half the fuc'{@g money goes to tax.
man so i got a gt tdi because its cheaper but id love to meet and talk more face to face see if u do rag ur car. im sure i could fined some were we could race see who rags theres more

thats the usual thing i used to do,i had a old 84 plate mg metro from new,blew the engine up mg metro(stop laughing) with all the engine done with a 8 port head on high lift cam with a dog box attached to it--it was a good in its day against xr3i--it looked like a typical metro with alloy after i debadged it all as it is a insult to mg's

Back on topic. I understand the reason people make a car look like the flagship as for insurance reasons or maybe they do alot of miles but like the look of the GTI but don't badge it up like others have said and try race everything on the road :confused:

Nearly every thread you post in of late end's up the same way, so unless you have something constructive say please don't just go posting stuff to rub people up the wrong way.
-
sorry but for all the fake haters out there i will show you this :booty: And for your information im nearly 35 not into booting my car about all over the place. My mods are declared on my insurance and the biggest reason for buying a diesel was for my wife. She stopped driving cos my focusST300 was too fast for her so ended up selling it and buying my golf. I like my car to look good but not bothered about fast any more.
-
If i have a comment ill post it, its not conflicting with the rules! If we all have to bum lick each other whats the point?

Darren, do you have a GTI badge on the back of your car?
Oh and Julie, you can keep well away from my :booty: thank you! :scared:

At the other end of that there's the crazy yanks who get their GTI's and turn them into 1.4 lookie likes which i find bizzare then they do a full build thread on it :stupid:

Must .... Resist ... Must make ... Contribution.
I don't see anything wrong with makin your worldy goods as good they can be. I.e I like my car. I honestly can't afford to run a petrol and I'm not ashamed of that, my money goes into other things for the future. Business, pensions, etc. But I don't see anything wrong with making my car look nice but still maintain economical.
IF IF IF I don't try and pass it off as anything else! Which I have no intention of doing!
-
Your car looks nicer than most GTI's ive seen though mate! It isnt really a GTI rep either i wouldnt say as it has the ED30 wheels which are BBS CH's (one of the most popular golf wheels ever) If it had monzas then maybe it would be a little 'repy' (that a word lol)
Was that constructive :signLOL:

:signLOL:
well done lol. I have half expecting to be googling pictures of facepalm!

Ive got several non constuctive replies that would rub you up the wrong way so ill keep schtum :mad:

Fair enough, but would it just have been cheaper to buy a switchable map, so you can turn the power on for when you drive it ala dreamscience?

In that case from what I can gather all the negative comments on here are not aimed at you pal! :happy2:
Dont think any comments are aimed at anyone are they? Just peoples opinions about the topic!
-
Yes they are aimed jules. At me and my arse!

I was just stating that the main issue of this topic seems to be about badging a car to 'pretend' it is something it isn't, which he isn't.
That ok for you? :confused:
-
Personally I think modding a car to look like something it isn't is a god given right - just don't badge it up :happy2:
-
Agreed
-
im back and it looks like i missed at lot.
i would just like to clear things up i myself have not taken any of this in wrong way.Its a laff and a joke me and Jules86 were just talking no need to ban the guy or get upset i dont want any been kicked of because we see things a bit dif to each other.
and theres no need to talk about bumming/back door entry or antthing of that sort
not into that lads sorry
come on :happy2:
-
and we should start a new topic or thread with pics of all the replicas
-
a schweet car is a schweet car whatever it is so i,d subscribe to a thread on reps!
on the US forum,as someone has said they turn gti's into rabbits and mix and match the , well everything and they still look amazing....dont get some of it tho,some is just plain weird lol :pomppomp:
matsu

This has come from a thread in the Members Rides section, how do Edition 30 owners feel about owners of regular GTis turning them into replica Edition 30s?
-
I have a halfblood :wink:
R32 front, ED30 sideskirts, rear bumper, cabin.
So i have decided that in response to those that don't like replicas, it will be badged as the model it is now :happy2:

indeed dude, never have been a dedicated follower of fashion - great minds :drinking:
although dude, with the launch of the .:R20 you are potentially rebadging the identity of your car now such a beast exists for sale, thus invalidating your insurance?
just putting that out there :happy2:
-
It's not a r20, but only an r, so no confusion there, and in Denmark, we don't have the type insurance you have. We don't have to account for every little mod. Tax is different, when changing the model image of a car you need to pay for the model makeover, but mine is neither, it's just the r20 :happy2:
-
no VC the R20 was a myth that we all conjured up the new R32 with 2 litre is just an R not R20 :P
i have a 2.0 golf so i could call it what ever the hell i like :grin:
-
ah right you are :happy2: now i know
badge away my little danish friend...badge like the wind.... :grin:
-
and ive got a mk5 GTD! lol so the badge says! ;)
-
ah right you are :happy2: now i know
badge away my little danish friend...badge like the wind.... :grin:
not away, but transformed to r20 hopefully :happy2:

haha interesting thread, not sure what to make of it.
I'll put this into the mix, im 21yr old lad living in Northern Ireland (which is considered a 'high risk' country due to unsettled past times) We are one of the countries in europe which get shafted the most with insurance prices, so with 'performance models' out of the question for a few years i settled for a rep, or a half blood as ive seen mentioned in this thread. Mine has the badge but im replacing it with a GTD, whenever i can get my hands on one.
If i lived in England i could have a GTi or even an R32 no problem because for me its not so much the cost of the car, its the cost to insure it.
Haters will be haters though :booty:
