The 'art' of modifying is to enhance your car without making it look like it crashed into a branch of Halfords. IMO a well modified car will make people to a double take, because they think "hey, that one's different, isn't it... or is it?".

But with such things 19" wheels and R-line bumpers available from the factory, it's becoming more difficult to be individual and remain subtle. So apart from a spot of lowering and perhaps some BBS wheels, I don't think I'll be doing much to my next Golf.

Hehe, thanks for that. I'm afraid, however, that it's just a PhotoShopped image. Never mind, though, at least their heart is in the right place :smiley:

I agree that 95% of the mods on that clip are absolutely ghastly. I have done a few tweaks on my car since I got it, but they're all but invisible (LED interior lights, remap, headlight bulbs) so as to retain the factory look and I am the only one who will ever know they're there... well, apart from you lot :wink:

Sorry Frog I know you said before but I can't find the thread again but did replacing your headlight bulbs make a significant difference?
Cheers.

TBH, no. But I had a pair of Philips Super Mega Power Vision Night Blaster things spare, so I thought I'd put them in. I do very little night time driving in the Golf anyway, so I'm not that bothered. IMHO, the interior LED upgrade is more worthwhile and certainly more noticeable.

Hi frogti, i see you have changed the interior lights of your gti to LED's - what kind / make of bulbs did you buy and where is best to purchase? How many of the interior lights did you change?
Thanks

Some of those body kits are plain ugly, I do like the exhausts on the ABT version but that's about the only thing I like.

the bumper on the pic gives it a chin that sicks out like bruce forsyth, but looks ok (no were near as bad as that halfords-isk -white ABT body kit on the other thread. That is truly  :sick:
