these parts are....
my front splitter (which isnt on the car bcoz its been ripped off so many times by speedbumps :angry:, but is a deep vr6 one)
my side skirts
and rear splitter/difusser
and the two top slits in my front grill ( not the long strip because that is going to be painted red)
and my rims

any idea if this will look taky or no good?
-
front splitter-poss pull it off
side skirts - nope
rear splitter/difusser-nope
the two top slits in my front grill-ok
my rims-big no no
but hey thats my opinions, your car you do what you want
-
Leave as is gets my vote :afro:
-
- Front splitter will scuff & rip if you catch it then it will then look rubbish so I say no.
- Side Skirts are a big no from me.
- Rear 'diffuser' also nope, will look crap.
- Grill slats are a big yes, they'll look great
- Wheels - Hell no!
Imo carbon wrapping is something that is best left subtle, wrap the grill slats, rear badge and a couple of interior parts....no more or it'll be overkill.
Oh and your Sig is way too big :wink:
-
As said too much will look naff. The two grille slats look ok and is a common thing on Mark 4's. Everything else I personally would leave alone :cool:
-
Thats already a decent looking car , if it was mine i'd spend the money tidying the bodywork up and although it's been done to death, a vento front end and vr splitter maybe?.
The wheels look good and suit the car and the stance is good , go for the clean and low look...less is more.. :cool:
-
i am with wayne it looks quite smart i would leave it as it is my mate had his dask flocked the other day does look quite nice dont get me wrong just not for me
-
:sick: flocked dash ain't for me eitha, and i think the stance is good i think, but would like it a bit lower tbh. and iv been looking at new rims i would like stretched tires on a decent set of rims (black ones) bit of camber going on aswel. and what do people think of those quad lights... (maybe carbon wrap them ? what do people think of those show cages?
if anyone has any parts for sale let me know,

3rd attempt and 3hrs (rough guess) later, just need to trim off excess and nail varnish te edges likely to get damp/wet,
Shame I split film slightly in 3 places but it was at full stretch, and went slightly, light will be well over it so won't see, but depending how quick I get through the Other I may do another pair as this was a spare to have a go! It's my first time and is very interesting to do! Though I haven't picked an easy shape to start with! Lol!
I think they'll look great until a stone chip so I'd say go for it :)

Looks mega mate you done the other one yet :wink:
