Looking  :cool: but your choice of "on-road" parking leaves something to be desired  :grin:- the smoked reflectors are nice and subtle - I need to check out your project post more often.  Would look great with black centre caps  :evil:

Is that a lorry over taking another lorry and heading straight at your motor !

Not too fond of the front splitter, but its nice overall. I like the R32 rear ;)

Why not blacken the rear VW emblem like you did at the front for completeness?

do you seriously drive with your reg plate like that ? Don't come to Glasgow mate those lovely enforcers of the law will give you 3 points and a £60 fine ....just to prove to their manager/ Sargent that they've not been in mcd's carpark eating mcdonuts!!

loving the rear mate got me thinking now and scanning flea-bay lol not sure about the reg plate in window tho id just put it back on to save the bother and risk of points or try a square plate maybe !!!  :drool:

up to you mate but they will have ya for that plate eventualy, i think it would probably look better with the plate back on anyway as it looks a little odd imo post a pic with the plate on and see what people rekon i would  :rolleyes:

you seemed to want feedback, i gave some; always thought your car looked good but personally the plate on the dash is a joke. any car looks better with no number plate but to have it on the dash is a total waste of time, just don't run one at all if that is the look you want :)

look good mate,
I always look at your updates for inspiration for when I get my MK5.
Although I do think the plate looks better on the front of the car.
Being such a nice GTI, it always stands a chance of being stolen, with no number plate on, ANPR on motorways wont find that plate on the dash, just a suggestion.   :smiley:
