Not sure on the bumpers but absolutely LOVE the grill. Have pondered for a long time on how to make the grill look more 'GTi-ish'!

Thumbs up from me! :wink:

The bumper bit looks alright, not sure about the grill, cant really tell from pictures.
What did you use to put the pinstripe in, and where did you get it?

thank you,no its not painted.i stopped by an auto supply store and the roll of pinstipe was very inexpensive.i paid for it with the coins in my ash tray!the vr's here never came with the red stripe.but i have to say it was very easy to do.i practically did it in 30 minutes in my garage.

we are being hit by a blizzard at the moment so i cant post pics til tomorrow!but this is why i pinstriped the car...i wanted to go with a traditional gti look so i took the idea from the mk2 that has the red strip bumper and also a couple mk3's ive seen on uk forums.the grill obviously from the the mk5.it looks great and im very happy with it but i did it to practice with the pinstripe mostly because ive got bits coming in.here's what my final setup will be with the pinstriping....textured euro bumper w/fog and indicator delete,wheel arches, textured back bumper and oem corrado steels with spacers it fill out the well. :smiley:
