Was rear ended by a Toeurag and written off as it had a twisted floor pan :scared:
Initially was going to replace like for like, however that proved to be a royal PITA as for the milage my car had I couldnt find a suitable replacement. So where to look.. looked at Tourans, Passats A3 Sportbacks and A4 Avants (Had to be child friendly and fit 2 pushchairs and 3 kiddie seats in.
In the end came across a mk5 jetta and thought hell havent seen too many about and the colour sold it for me

Cos its amazing how many run the GTI grille :wink:

I didnt like the black look either - thats why my new grill is body coloured. Looks so much better! Just need R-Line foglight covers to delete the chrom strips now! :)
-
Why be a 'wannabe' when you can go your own way! :happy2:

The air ride just looks epic. Is it drivable that low?
I think the red/chrome works myself :congrats:
Chrome works because of the red. IMO

Hmm is there a picture of the R-line covers.
I love the black on mine but it it a silver car.
-
I think ill go with black on mine too...but mines grey and the chromes looking a bit 'rep-mobile' i think (red gets away with this before you comment JettAir :happy2: )
Id too like to see these R-line covers im not sure covering these in wrap will look any good...
-
Beautiful mate. Loving the chrome. Definitely prefer the look of the Jetta bumper to the GTi. Was thinking of doing my mirror covers in chrome, you've just convinced me.

Is that even with the kids and wife in the car??
I would like some R-line grills but they don't do them without the fogs, I prefer the non-fog look.

Yup 3 kids and missus and the stays at that height :wink:
Its the benefit of the elevel system, constantly adjusting the 4 corners to stay at the preset height, no matter what the weight in the car :happy2:

Thanks!
