I've just changed from quads and prefer the way it looks.

it's all down to personal preference.

Each to their own really otherwise things would be really boring. I'm preferring the single light look at the minute but definately still with a badge, I got the red pinstripe quad tucked away though incase I change my mind ;)

Like my quads so will keep them but can see the appeal of the others.
Someone mentioned a black badge, which I also have. Was this standard or a mod?

I think the black badge came in with the changes in 88 so yours should probably have a chrome badge.

Single lights look better with big bumpers, and quad lights look better with small bumpers i reckon! Though, if your going for single, it really does need to have a badge, and i think a spoiler. Though, as
7 slat quads  :cool:
said, 7 slat quad is the best grille ever, shame i cant find one :cry:

Cant upload a picture yet, as photobucket is down... will later though

Mine came with single light debaged grille on it which i hated. Luckily the previous owner kept the original grille which he threw in with the car and i fitted it with the quickness and eventually i added a chrome VW badge to the front instead of the black one it came with. I guess im just a fan of keeping things original, i like people to know im driving a volkswagen not to hide it. Which is why one of my next jobs is to add the original badges back to the rear of the car, last owner remioved the VW central badge and the GOLF GTI badge leaving only the 16v on there, looks sh!t, who the hell does that? Also apparently they were too cheap to buy tinted indicators so they just spray painted the orange indicators and side repeaters black, luckily that was nothing a bit of paint thinners couldnt solve, just wiped them and it came off.

In my opinion i think it all comes down to the way you modify your car ( and personal preferenc of course)

A mk 2 that is dropped on its @ss and has fat wheels really looks better with the twin, where as if your sticking close to standard quad looks better.

Just my opinion of course!

Im currently going with with quad and black badge, think ill be staying that way too.
