...wondering what they'd look like powder coated in black now.

Sounds like that's what you've already got  :grin:

Could be a good look on CSG.   If you did, how about some black rear/front VW badges to tie the look together?

I'll get a pic up tomorrow and hopefully i'll sway you...  :smug: Hmm i've always liked the shiny VW badges but im thinking about getting the grill done in black... not sure yet... and maybe those JDM yellow fog light covers... only a fiver or something.

I could be swayed.  I have a real soft spot for the yellow fogs on certain colours   :drool:

Do you mean lower fog light grille?

Now you mastered posting pics  :wink:  put some more up   :smiley:

Yeah i do like them, there cheap so nothing to lose really, i'll order some anyway.

I mean the red strips either side of the VW Badge... if thats what you were wanting clarified?  :huh:
thinking black... but then i do like the original looking red... decisions

Ah i promised myself alloys and xenons would be it aesthetically!!! Doesn't look like it'll end there however...

Yeah i will, unfortunately there aren't many decent photogenic backgrounds up here in manchester, but when im back down in kent i'll take some goodens.

Dunno about black stripes  :undecided:  they look good on candy white with other black accents but on a csg??

I'd have thought Manchester had some great architectural/industrial backdrops for car photos.  Though I hail from Yorkshire, lived in Lancashire for 6 years and used to go to Manchester regularly and remember the architecture well.

Whereabouts in Kent?  Still to find a truly inspiring backdrop round these parts.

Actually i saw on a US thread a GTI with Chrome strips... (like the GTD) with Monza Shadows in CSG... that looked nice but a little too smart dare i say?
 
It does... but with my southern accent and shiny car i make an easy target in those very out the way vacant architectural locations unfortunately... haha. Kidding, obviously, but yeah im sure there are some nice ones, been here 4 years... i should probably know.

Tunbridge wells, around there, my times split between the two (student). Go to the white cliffs! Or devils d**e (i think its called), havent been in years but from what i remember it'd make for a half decent location. Ashdown forest in the right weather might be nice as well.

Chrome stripes maybe too slick as you say.

White cliffs eh, I forgot about those.  Or maybe in front of that big church in Canterbury too, if only you were allowed to park in there  :laugh:

Your softy Kentish accent not gone a little northern round the edges yet?  I'm doing everything I can to hang onto my northern lilt but a starting to notice a little too much southern is creeping in, it must be stopped  :cry:  :grin:

Hmm yeah, or just take a trip to paris for the day and rock up infront of the arc de triumph at night? your car would gleam!

No afraid not, apparently its still very noticeable... took a trip to Bolton the other day and my friend jokingly said i shouldnt open my mouth whilst there... however i feel as though he was being a little genuine as well...

Ah well soon you'll be pronouncing Baaath, Graaass, Garaaage...... not Garidge...  :smug: :smug:

Maybe your mate had a point  :grin:

Not a chance of me ever pronouning like that.  In fact I've subliminaly managed to get my 8 year old daughter pronouncing those words northern stylee, much to her Canterbury born dad's annoyance  :grin:
