i really like it, ive been so tempted many times to modify mine but just want to keep it original in terms of looks and not to come across as half an r32 and half a gti

not to keen on the red center caps

Stunning mate.. Looks great!

If it was mine I would change a couple of things to the exterior (dont take this the wrong way, just suggestions)

Lamin-x yellow fogs
Smooth the R32 reflectors and smooth the two rear bumper sections
De wiper the rear
De badge the rear
De badge the front
Some really subtle graduated window tints front to rear
Get the 19" version of your wheels..

Sorry, just me lol..

cheers all, 19" alloys would be nice but cant afford them at the moment. next 2 mods to mind are milltek DP and R32 brakes, will also get the rear vw badge made black but i will need a whole new lock as mine is the flat type.  :smiley:

oh, oh, oh, oh... Is that a VWR front splitter/spoiler? How much?

The car looks like the kind of car that would kick the sh*t out of you in a pub for looking at its bird.  :happy2:

I love it Joe. Looks so menacing...

You wouldnt consider getting the spoiler thing (Reiger one you have) on the front smoothed and actually sprayed black?

I dont think that Matte finish looks to great.

Besides that she is a beaut.  :love:

What you do in your spare time really is your own business.... yakyak!

Looking at the pics again, I can see the colour on the valance - I'll look forward to seeing it properly on Sunday week.

yea, it does look a little matte i suppose, i think it needs another clear coat on it as it was not left long enough to dry before i took it down the M6 toll <a href="http://www.rockstarquiz.com/" title="rock star quiz">(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysmiley.net%2Fimgs%2Fsmile%2Frolleye%2Frolleye0012.gif&hash=f03406921714c2c96ceb00dc9ae6c184428d6ea0)[/url]
