ok as some of you no i have decided to do away with the chavtastic chrome.
well after work today i decided to take the new grill off, make the new grill out of the original one and put it on the car.

think that looks cool mate will look better once youve got the pther bits done in red aswell.
-
I'm sorry but do not like! too much going on.
but on the other hand with a red pin strip, and your wheel centers painted red it will look nice.
photoshop your wheels.
-
well my plan was to do grill, red pin stripe and am going to vinyl red the wheel centre with same vinyl i used on the grill.
shouldnt be to hard to vinyl the centres.
my plan is to cut circles to slitely bigger than centre (for trimming)
lay on wheel and cut each hole then work into the gap with heat gun.
i work for a sign company and work with vinyl every day so have all the gear to try this.
-
Not keen on the red grill, might be better when you have more red.
-
Like it mate, will look good with a few more red touches :wink:
Loads better than that chrome gash :sick: (sorry)
-
did the centre caps red and put red pinstripes on today.
went for drive then i rained and half of pinstripes came off ggrr.
must be because i used blank restorer stuff on trim couple of weeks ago.
planning on rubbing over with thinners tomorrow and putting them on again.
will post up pics when done.
-
Mirrors look far better and the grill kinda looks odd but when the pin stripes done think it will fit into place then.Maybe a Black centre badge or carbon fibre it if you do vinyling etc.When I replaced my pin stripe I used thiners and then heated the bumper in sections just to help it stick and used abit of heat when I put it on and its never peeled off as yet..
-
i like it, maybe red badge too and it will look better. :undecided:
-
Sorry dont like it mate but thats just my opinion. Ya got some nice wheels a nice stance its black which i thinks the best colour the cromes gone and it looks clean, why not just save ya money and spend it on the engine.... :smiley:
-
Its an 8v what the point in wasting money on engine? Lol
-
Theres always turboing or supercharging..... :laugh:
-
I like - looking forward to pics of the other work done.
-

looks nice mate but think it would look a lot better with the black grill an a black badge. I was considering doing the red strip on mine as my calipers are red think i might give it a go. defo take the number plate surrounds off though :wink:
-
i think the grill looks quite good surprisingly lol
-
Lose the number plate surround but loads better.
-
I think you should try spray tint on the lights in red.

wheels and stripe look good but the grill is too much imo. looks like you've just put a spare one on from a red car??
less is more, do the grill and vw black and will be much better.

I think he's refering to all red rears...or at least i hope so!
-
The grill looks better than it did before but as mentioned black would look better,pin stripe suits it and the centres look ok the cars has lots of potential but you have differnt ideas :grin: looks better though
-
for a mk3 it looks good, i like

what he says ^^
but i have a feeling this guy wont listen - so this is a pretty pointless thread as a whole
-
Would look better with a black grill.
-
not wanting to start a big fight or anything, but if we all do the same, then theres no point doing anything in the first place, personally i think it looks good, chrome surrounds gotta go thou!
if you dont like what youve done thou you can always change it, everyone is looking for that bit of individuality :)
-
This is what can happen if ya try to be individual.............

His mum told him at birth he was an individule but really hes just damb ugly :wink: lol
-
I agree with trying to be individual and making a car your own but some times people get it all wrong and end up being to individual :grin:
-
Well you will all be glad to no I have now taken the red vinyl off the grill slats and just put 12mm bits on the tips of them instead to not full red all the way back now and it does look a lot better.
Will post pics up when I get my broadband back online. Using my blackberry at the moment till then.

That does sound better already.
