I think it looks great Robin  :happy2:

Not to OTT but in keeping with the look of your car  :smiley:

Have to agree with Joe...

Your car is beautiful! Every mod you've done just 'works' so well together!!

But I think the graphic down the side of the car spoils the 'smoothness' of the car - if that makes any sense. I couldn't think how to describe it really, lol!

Thanks for the comments so far, guys :happy2:

I'm very happy indeed with the side strips but not 100% about the wing mirrors.

I had assumed that the wing mirror stickers would be red and grey as on the 300R. I'll probably get used to them and do very much like that they seem to pick up visually with the shiny silver alloys.

The sides are perfect! Very subtle and even invisible in certain lighting. They suit a 5-door GTI much better than I thought they would and imo make it look more sporty. But I realise they are a bit 'Marmite' regarding our different tastes.

I asked for the stickers, Phil - They look really good and subtle on their red 300R and I fancied it on mine and I also wanted to promote RacingLine as they've done stuff for me 'beyond the call of duty'.

Not my cup of tea Robin but maybe worth checking with your insurance as some Co's class this as altering the vehicles appearance. My mate did a similar thing with advertising his work on his car and got hit by a hit and run they would only pay so much out as the car was deemed to have changed form its orig colour and he hadn't advised them.

WTF!!?? :fighting: :rolleye:

That's ridiculous, but I appreciate the advice.

So I guess this would also apply to those who have vinyl'd their car roof/bonnet?

And what about my window stickers? Forum stickers?

What a ridiculous world we live in!

I'm about to change my insurers as it happens.

If you're changing to Greenlight, I can confirm that vinyl/stickers do nothing to alter/increase your insurance premium  :smiley:

Greenlight is the one I'm intending.

Thank goodness someone has some common sense!! :rolleye:

Love the look on the doors. Works well. Less certain about the mirrors.

Really do love the look of your car.

Your modification choices (just looking at the asthetics and nothing else) are absolutely spot on.

^ I think the side stickers make a 5-door look longer and sleeker somehow.

I'm sure you still feel the same about your Lotus.

I haven't forgotten that it's your fault that I bought those OZ alloys!
