Post by: Scottymon on November 27, 2013, 02:54:08 pm
Fancy changing the front a bit, so which would you choose from below?  (Excuse the crap Photoshop)

Sigh Jay, you say that on all request threads.  I'm interested to see what people think.. do you have an opinion?  I'm sure you do... and I bet it doesn't involve any of the above! :laugh:

6, because you can then spend the money saved on selection boxes.

Cheers guys. :happy2:

I do have Open Fog Grilles but took them off for winter... they are Replicas so didn't want extra salt and crap going inside.

Lol the idea of Selection Boxes and Mince Pies instead though, haha!

Think I'm going to go Yellowlipstick, Black Badge, Laminx Fogs and Black wheels.... bit of fun anyway.

Can you plastidip Brake Calipers?  As they would go Yellow too if so.

Is it only for winter?

I quite like the lamin x on the fogs......

Yes, you can plastidip Calipers, be carful and mask everything up well, met a few peeps who have done it, apparently it lasts ok.

Yes, it's just for winter, I've got two GTI grills so can mess about a bit, have a black front badge, just black plastidipped my winter wheels, allowing them to cure (might lacquer them too) - have some yellow plastidip on order... great to hear you can do the calipers/carriers in it. :party:

I don't like non-standard GTI colour lipstick - It's just a matter of individual personal preference.

I don't like de-badging either - If your ride is a VW, be proud of it!

I'll probably hate it before the Winter is out Robin; but it's going yellow... now if I could grab a set of Pirelli seats....  :laugh:

Well, it's a bit different and will keep me entertained for a while and the beauty is, that it can all be changed back within 30 mins.

See, this is why I hate threads like this.
OP asks for opinions (even though they should decide themselves) - OP gets opinion (I counted number 5 as the winner!  :jumpmove:) and then OP decides for himself anyway? Anyone see my point  :signLOL: :signLOL:

Good luck putting your high beam reflectors yellow  :P

How many smilies does one have to use to indicate  one's not being entirely serious?
