did a double take then, thought the photo was black and white :laugh: a bit to much for my taste although i like the idea behind it...... would probably do it for me with the GTI highlighted

Looks mean and moody. Me like. :happy2:

Looks like someone has stolen your VW badge :confused:
-
i like it, would prefer it with a silver badge to break up the front just a little maybe

Thank you all for your kind words :happy2: I intended from the start for it not to look too much like the GTi...cos obviously I dont want to be looking like something im not so I thought the original Gt front end is all black so thats how I wanted it looking but with the honeycomb grilles.
Thanks again
Darren

I like it, very much so. I don't know what you've done with the rear badge however - can't quite make/work it out??
-
Have you thought about some spacers for the rear as they look a bit lost in there :happy2:
-
Thanks again for the kind words, yes has VC said they are gallardo reps I was one of the first with the 18" reps they cost me about £550 with the tyres...the wheels will be going a different colour very soon, never thought about the mirror indicators, possible.
The rear badge has just been colour matched to the body, I had white worm in the badge. You can still see the VW out-line.
Greenouse been thinking about spacers for the back but dont know wether to go 12mm or 20mm was going to put 10mm on front aswell what do you think?
Darren
Sorrrry quick edit before he see's :embarrassed:

I've gone 10mm front and rear. With the standard wheels I may be able to get away with 12's but Im more than happy with the stance. Have a chat with the Wheelman and he'll sort you out :happy2:
-
Are the std wheels 7.5" wide though Im running 8" wide so I dont think I would need any more than yours, Also have you got any pics up at the moment to link to and have a look or can you post some up cheers greenouse.
Darren
