Exactly, each to their own.... but...you came on a public forum, please don the flame suit.

Me personally, I think it's bloody awful.  And would look muchos better standard, maybe keep the headlamps tho...

I'm pleased you told me it's supposed to be a Mk5 front end...because I wouldn't have known!

bonnets carbon wrapped.

I assume that's a carbon look-a-likee sticker on the bonnet?

im 18 and i just finished my first car being a mk3 golf and i looked at that bumper! youngsters like the ides of the mk5 style front i supose .... but i changed my mind and just smoothed off the original and got some smoked indicators/fogs (my cars black)

if your keeping the front colour code the arches or lose them and i dont like the bonnet :')

Take it all back to standard, it currently doesn't look that nice but I bet with the original bumpers and bonnet on will look ok :)
