You SERIOUSLY need to stop commenting on style. :rolleyes: :grin: :tongue:

It will shut on the first latch but not the second.

Completely depends on the car IMO. :smiley:

Was gonna keep the Golf front on my GTI.

IMO G60 Rob, Dom & Kells Golf fronts all look sick and suit the Golf front. I PERSONALLY and self bragging here :grin:, think when I had my smooth bumper, the front end looked great (which is why I did it obviously). I've come to the thought that either can look amazing.
