Obviously not OEM - but r32 'style' - direct fit replacement for my car - rather than changing the bumper supports etc...

Looks too shiney, not the same quality so i vote gti.

I was leaning towards the gti - I agree with the 'shiny' comment, and also think the red strip would compliment my colour

GTI all the way, chrome looks tacky.

R32 front can be nice but you'd really want an OEM one, not a cheap knock off!
I think you shouldn't do any front end conversion! Debadge the back and the rabbit is very sleepery  :cool: Then again I'm not sure if they even sell lower engine spec cars alongside the rabbit  :undecided:. I know I'd surprise people over here if they thought I was running a 1.4 or 1.6 and I took off with my 2.5 V5  :laugh:
