you dont see too many yellow ones, but they do look safe as

well should be doing the wing mirrors at some point soon, then will have to see about the lights, anni ones would be my choice but pricey as hell although they have got soem smoked ones on swgmotorsport that i like the look of as well, but defo us rears  :wink:

so is the rear badge standard, or did you have to spray that?

mine is red also, i already have some euro rears, and thought they would suit a red car better but im thinking us spec now, decissions!

That looks cool how did you do the grill? :cool:

with alot of swearing! lol got one from ebay, sanded it back with 600 grit wet/dry, primer, then masked off the badge surround, sprayed red, then 1200 grit after the coats, then vice versa with the bars but in satin black, the hardest part was getting the lines right which was a mare but go there in the end!

looks really good, I'm going to disagree with he rear lights, as i think the standard ones work really well, seen as your exterior is Red with black.  Anni head lights would look mint, as well as US anniversary badges if you've got the ££££ to spend.

I see what you mean with the rear lights, as mentione before i quite liek the euro look lights, but the anni badges as you say are ££££ so the rear one is red as well I take it? liek this?

spot on with the badge, would look mint on a red GTI!  i think it's the front grill badge that is normally around £25

take off your old one and spray it black for the contrast - don't think I have seen that done and I think that would look awesome! :cool:

well ive only got the sharan badge on the back, what i was thinking (would be fiddly as hell!) buy the red badge but instead of the chrome lip spray that black would as i said be a mission but think it would look pretty safe adn adds the contrast at the same time

that wouldn't be that hard, because of the lip you could quite easily just mask up the red part, eg mark everything and then using a craft scalpel trim the tape back, and then spray the lip, at £10 a badge it could be worth a punt.

Get an Anni front grill badge and spray it black!

if i spent £25 on a anni fron badge woudl spray it, would get lost in teh black bars, the red of the anni badge would look good against the black though ;)

the UK one is about £10, sure the US (red on chrome) is much more
