id like to see it colour coded..
bumper strips and front bumper bits too...

i reserve comment till then...

tbh, modding/adding bits is always an 'each to their own' game anyways... cant really knock someone for having their own input...

....Would I do it? - NO!! :cool:

A friend is about to have some carbonfibre flared wings fitted to his VW Racing prepared road&track car, but that's to better manage his highly modded suspension setup - They won't look like add-ons!

It makes it look like it has huuuuuge arches and is riding on stilts. Not my cup of tea

It looks sh1t but the idea does hark back to the older GTIs which all had plastic arches...

If he put some wider sills on and colour coded the whole lot candy white then it could look pretty savage. It looks like he has side skirts of some kind on the car but they are the same black as the wide arches, so you can't really see them  :cry:

please give your honest feedback as to whether you'd do this to your car......?

I'd rather ram my genitals into a wasps nest.

Not a chance. I have seen some widebody GTi's that look great but that looks like a Halfords special  :lipsrsealed:
