Title: R32 front end....kinda....
Post by: patrickcullen87 on November 11, 2011, 07:32:30 am

just wondering....see how the R32 has a chrome front end. Has anyone ever done the gti's front grille a different colour??? was thinking about getting this wrapped but a little unsure how it would look?
if anyone has any pictures or links that would be appreciated  :smiley:

Do you have an R32 front end? 

I have looked in to getting it, but I'm not keen on the chrome, personally I would wrap it in carbon.

I tried a carbon wrap for some company when the stuff first hit the market, looked ok but looks tatty after a while and everybody had it on their cars at one point.
Then i went for the primer look.  :laugh: It never looked good in pics but was nice in the flesh.  :happy2:

No ive just got a normal GTI front end. Just fancy something a bit different.

Have u got a picture of the full car with the primer at the front TOPCAT?
Looks quite good with that.

The R32 front is completely different to the GTI one, If you are referring to the chrome area on the front that is the same as a Jetta.
R32 one goes down to the bottom.
