My white Match with added black bits
« on: 16 June 2017, 15:45 »
I had the first bit of the black 'enhancement' done to the white Golf today. The back half of the roof wrapped in gloss black to continue on from the pan roof.

Nice job, looks really smart. Are you going to do the mirror caps too?

Yes, mirror caps, the 'blade' under the front foglights and a rear bumper top protector. Black 17" wheels will follow once I've decided which ones.

Do you think though that just black wheels might be a bit too much? Perhaps black with silver highlights? What engine have you gone for?

One of Jo's mates has a white Fabia with a black roof, mirrors and wheels which works really well. Black with silver highlights could work too, but that would most probably mean diamond cut. I really don't want to go down that road again.

Engine wise, it's a 1.6 110 diesel with DSG. Dull, but does the job. Sometimes you have to take a backwards step. If each car is replaced with something more expensive and faster, there comes a point where there is nowhere realistically to go.

A mate has the same engined Golf with DSG, I was impressed with the performance and the quality which was the clincher in going for my GTI. Don't blame you with the diamond cut, love them but there are certainly disadvantages!
