Title: Large rear spoiler - Talk me out of it please....
Post by: RocketRossUK on 02 June 2014, 21:37
Hey guys,

I really want my GTI to look a bit more aggressive and I find myself looking at picture like these and thinking whether I should get one or not.

Am I being an ultra chav with this? ( I am only 27 - so can i get away with it, or it going to ruin the car and the image.)

Ahhhh...cant decide. Help

What colour would you do it Ross? If you keep it the same colour as the car I think it would look pretty good, but if you did it black I think it would be abit too in your face.

Sorry buddy, I don't like it personally. It seems to mess about with the proportions.

Not a fan.  If you want to go more aggressive, why not go for the front air scoops featured a few threads down.  They look great, purposeful and aggressive without looking chavvy.

Liking the wheels in the first pic  :cool:

I dont think the front end's look too bad on the MK6, I do like the air scoops, but there has been many a time when i actually needed fog lights.

I just think the back end needs some grunt.....


what about some of these  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Yeah getting done in gloss black. Seen as mine is carbon grey, I think it would look nice if mirror's, rear diffusser and spoiler was done in gloss black

I am a fan, the white R pictured looks great. I agree with one of the above comments as to get it same color as rest of car if you have a standard GTI.

They do a carbon fibre one too for not much more! Would you be able to let me know the quality of it? I really want one but Im just a bit hesitant to do a permanent silicon bond. I don't trust 3M tape by itself

You're cruel  :smiley: that's a 70s thing! He's young..he'll look back and think....bugger did i really do that to my car. Seriously it's just a matter of taste if you feel thats what you want go for it. I spent probably somewhere in the region of £3k on those lights just to satisfy my whims!
