What do you think?

I like the lights, are they legal?

Title: Re: Liking the new front
Post by: MajorKhan on 28 April 2015, 22:25

done a 700 mile round trip over the weekend no probs, the lights are a more grey/steel look in real life i think, had the ABT brows sitting around for a while

I got to be honest mate, i think it makes the car look about 10 years old from the front, especially the lights. Maybe it looks better in the flesh.

I always think that sort of cosmetic adjustment is the kind of thing people do to a 500 quid 15 year old BMW, not really a brand new car...

Not to my taste but each to their own :-)

Sorry not a fan either - also think it adds a bit of age to the car

Title: Re: Liking the new front
Post by: andrewparker on 29 April 2015, 13:18

Yeah, looks terrible. Have you owned a Saxo before?

Post by: GeoBog on 29 April 2015, 22:35

That is horrendous, sorry. Can't understand why one would ruin the nicely designed factory front-end of the MK7 GTI/GTD in this way.

Sorry pal it's not to my taste (and I'm being kind). Bet you wish you'd never asked.

Post by: wigit on 29 April 2015, 22:55

sorry not feeling the love, i also think the VW badge is too large on the Mk7 to carry off the black look

you like it which is the most important thing

Admittedly not my cup of tea - it might look a bit better if the front badge was colour coded to the car to break up the grille area (and get rid of the 'hump' in the bonnet line).

Being the owner of a classic MK2 I always crave standard spec factory spec. However beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it can be returned to standard if needs be so good luck to you.

Sorry mate, all too black for me as well.

Title: Re: Liking the new front
Post by: JoeGTI on 30 April 2015, 10:04

It's a no from me too. Can't understand this painting the badge black thing and you've taken it to the next level. The car looks best as standard IMO. Each to their own!

Minus the tint to the headlights it looks good.  Blacked my badges out too, different strokes for different folks  :smiley:

Title: Re: Liking the new front
Post by: Finglonga on 30 April 2015, 12:32

I Plasti Dipped my VW and GTI badges to black and after a week I took it off as the original looked better IMO. Main thing is if you like it keep it as it is.

Sorry :)

That is ugly, it cheapens the whole appearance. Sorry

Oh dear.... time to change the thread title to 'Not liking the new front' :-(

You have ruined the look of the front for me.

It's certainly not most people's thing on here for sure but post it up on golfmk7.com and they'll probably love it...

Sure the designers at Wolfsburg have now realised what a terrible mistake they have made and will incorporate this dazzling new design into the mk8.    Will make the car look considerably more affordable to corsa drivers.

Ummm sure the corsa owners club might approve...

Sadly you did ask

Not my cup of T!

Post by: Booth11 on 02 May 2015, 20:06

Not to my taste.  As someone else said, could see it on a car a few years old maybe.

It's your car, so if you like it.

Looking forward to pictures when you de-chav your lovely car.

I still like it looks better in the flesh and the car is 2ish years old now not brand new! Comments taken on the chin son!!!

Fair play to you for taking the comments as you have.
