Just wondering as they kind of meet my Audi MK3 stylings, however saw a SEAT Ibiza with similar on & they looked pretty bad! :huh:

Opinions good or bad! :grin:

not sure mate, if there was no other chrome on the car, it might look a bit rough....

Depends, as they are pretty big chrome. Not sure  :undecided:

Well externally just the GTi trims & VW badges, but got the dial surrounds, MK4 gear knob, MOMO Millenium wheel & chrome inside door handles??

Nothing to OTT just subtle stylings....

Don't do it...chavtastic! Wouldn't look good, keep it colour coded. That's all the subtlety you need.

Reckon you need a nice big intercooler hanging out the bumper to go with it, but im not sure, think they will look  :sick: tbh :/

they suck, even on the correct audi's they don't look right!

well, you would need chrome alloys, chrome badges, ohh and lexus/crystal lights all round, maybe even some chrome washer jet covers and yeah the big chrome intercooler in the front. All of this so the mirrors look right in the car, but by this time, the car would look sh!te, so PLZ DONT DO IT!

seriously, you would need other chrome bits so it fits in and on older cars, flashy chrome doesn't look right, unless your prepared to take the car extremely OTT, which i'm sure your not.

the audi's have the huge chrome grill so the wind mirrors look small in relation to the grill, i wouldnt personally not enough chrome elsewhere.

On the right car I think they look good. You just have to be able to pull them off.

Maybe post some shots of your car with its current Audi styling and maybe we can help you decide. :)
