i hate to say this, but it would be a lie if i said i liked that on your car, i mean i like the bonnet but not when its on your car if this makes sense.
I say go back standard
rest of car looks great tho
I know what you mean but I will not make a firm decision on it untill it's been done properly. I have two bonnets and the option to run either at will... be patient, this was only a trial fit. Glad the rest of the car is getting some points though.
Minty goodness IMO.
Sets an already stand-out car further apart and works well with the already-aggressive bodykit.
You just need box-arches on it now.
Ah ha, someone who can see through a
trial and see potential.
Will this do
Would be ideal if you're using itb's
Seen these before and they always look super tough. I'd black the mesh, but then I get carried away when blacking cars.
The whole bonnet will be prepped and painted to match the car, inlucing the mesh... ITB's will be great one day but for me it's all about what's in there already for now, it was one of the main reasons I bought car. I have plans to make the vents more useful. Inside the rise I want to build channels for the air to places I want it, air box and throttle body/exhaust area.
Love it, really suits the car
I think it works well, doesnt look chavy. Nice one mate.
Thanks, will look loads better but glad you can see it might work. I was starting think, FAIL.
Bonnet looks great! (coming from someone who hates things like that usually). Really suits the car and the rest of the kit.
Car is looking superb, top job mate. Can't be far off completion now?
Thanks... I hate vented bonnets but this is old skool and VAG so thought it was worth a shot. Nope, not far to go I hope!
Hmmmm, sorry, don't like it it doesn't work for me, sorry for being honest, only my opinion
Body kit is looking great though, well done
Thanks for doing the trial fit of the bonnet, I really was curious how it would look. I just don't think that the Mk1 can match the UR Quattro aggressive look....maybe you will prove me wrong.
Don't be sorry, I'm quite happy it's getting mixed views... It makes me like it more, its beyond marmite now.
Of course it can't match the Quattro, but then i'm not trying to do that. I'm trying to make this mine.
I only put the bonnet on prematurely due to forum peer pressure. Patience, I'll sway you.
maybe square lights may help? like westmoreland(?) lights on the mk2 golf.
No no no!.... no square lights, well not where you're thinking anyway. The OEM lights are round in the middle, the vents above are rectangle and so to finish it off, the bottom fogs are also rectangle which I think will help a lot. It doesn't help that they weren't fitted for this round of snaps.
Wow, it really has divided people!
Initially I didn't like it, however.....I think that (as you say) with the front fogs in and a number plate on it will look a lot better. The problem for me is the big gaping space from the bottom of the grill downwards, but, with the mentioned bits fitted it should balance out the look of the front end and I reckon it'll look good
Dom, I was exactly the same, I had to visualise the rest of it to be more convinced. I didn't really want to take snaps of the trial fit, I only wanted to post what I have done today, so I blame all those that forced it!
I don't want a "Euro look" Golf.
Stay with me people...
