Title: GTI Porsche Editon
Post by: BCR on 17 March 2010, 21:01
Mr. Ã…kesson is a brave man and possibly a bit mad  :wink:
His brand new mk6 GTI is undergoing plastic surgery and will be transformed into a GTI in Porsche clothing.
Can´t wait to see the final result.

Somehow I don't think he gives flying feck about that and to be honest he's only modified the front bumper. You can pick one of those up cheap enough to swap back.

I think there has been too much judgment before its finished, give the bloke a chance, look at some of the mad mods that were out there in the 90's on mk2's, chopped roofs and all sorts, at least he is being different instead of following everyone else, is that not what modding is all about, trying to be different, indiviual, unique.
Title: Re: GTI Porsche Editon
Post by: FroGTI on 26 March 2010, 10:46
is that not what modding is all about, trying to be different, indiviual, unique.

Well, not in my book it ain't: modding is all about making very slight and subtle changes to your car to give it the 'OEM plus' look. Trying to make your car look like a Porsche only makes you look cheap and/or common for not saving up and buying the Porsche in the first place. But, hey, each to his own, I guess - if this is what floats his boat, I say let him do it :grin:

Well, not in my book it ain't: modding is all about making very slight and subtle changes to your car to give it the 'OEM plus' look.

That's your idea of modding but modding is just changing the car to something you like so it can be as subtle or in your face as you like.

For instance, this:

(http://www.timelessclassics.us/FordModelA29.jpg)

to this:

(http://image.rodandcustommagazine.com/f/18745333+w750+st0/0906rc_01_z+1930_ford_model_a_coupe+goodguys_2009_hot_rod_of_the_year.jpg)

I imagine the Ford Model A geeks hate what this guys do, but me? I love what people do in their garages to put their mark on their car. Sure some modded cars turn out looking dreadful, but some come out awesome. You gotta take the rough with the smooth and I reckon this MK6 has potential to be a bit special if it all comes together, but it could also end in total fail.

Nick
Title: Re: GTI Porsche Editon
Post by: FroGTI on 26 March 2010, 14:45
I see where you're coming from and - in theory - you're right. However, some mods are right and others are just, well... wrong.

Indeed, it could be argued that the whole point of a discussion forum is to reach a consensus on what looks good and what doesn't.

Below is BarryBoy's Shed of The Year 2009. I would suggest that most people would say it is wrong, it did win the award after all, but obviously the owner thinks it looks superb.

(http://www.barryboys.co.uk/photos15/610b6efd5a0754a89db05f9897aad07e.jpg)

The flow of the bumper moulding into the front wing area ahead of the wheelarch is all wrong - all too obvious its from a different car.  There must be tens of aftermarket bumpers for the mk6 he could have picked and all would be a better match to the original car lines.

I'd like the talent to be able to do something like that although to do that to a mk6 is criminal. Dono about anyone else, but one of the reasons I got the mk6 was that it looks classy and elegant while being fast and not boy racerish. Although the mod itselflooks ok-ish, its ruined that car imo.

Nasty!  :evil: as the mk6 is based on the mk5 there is not a great deal difference in looks, but for me the mk6 is a better looking car both inside and out but especially inside.

You behave yourself young Sir lest you upset us mk6 owners.

The quality of the workmaship actually looks pretty decent (apart from it being a slightly different colour!) - just the design is horrid!

why didn't he just buy a porsche instead.  it looks too front heavy.  u can get a decent porsche for the same price as a gti.  like a 996 turbo
anycase.  who in hell is going to buy it when he sells it?
 those alloys look very nice but minus the porsche badge.

Post by: PenguinGTI on 12 May 2010, 15:43
I liked his idea cause veedubs and porkies are in the same family tree but it looks a little out of place given the rest of the car being OEM.

 I also think VW centre caps would have been nice. The alternative would have been to debadge the whole car and do it all with porkie badges. This is what Fiat have done with Ferrari for the Scuderia 500 Abarth. I think it would certainly add a nice spin to the car (a porsche powered golf  :smiley:) but at the moment it only looks like it's half of what it should be.

To be fair the guys certainly put some effort in there and produced a very good finish.

The front reminds me of a mark 3 fiesta XR2i from back in the day.
