I know the septic's get them cheaper, but the same applies, the 'rabbit' would still be a 'darn' site cheaper than a GTI! Only in America - numpty's :grin:

Nah, he's just American... what I don't understand is the absurd comparison with a Mk4 front end... don't they get the fact that VW was harking back to the 'classic' GTI's Mk1 and Mk2, with the black grill and red surround? What prats. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Post by: 08micsta on 06 August 2008, 08:32: ok ok guys

Firstly. Its his car. Some people do not like the front end of the GTi and would prefer the rabbit look but still have the power.

Personally I feel you can pull it off like the guy in the bottom of that thread did. There are a lot of people that have done this.

Yes, but people like him are usually recaptured very quickly. Clearly with decision making like his, he's a danger to society.

Post by: djhorace on 06 August 2008, 13:31: To be honest I think what he has done is funny.

Anything that makes a car look slower than it is, especially if some money has been spent under the bonnet, makes for a decent Q car.

At least its not a chavtastic replica wings west kit or something.

Title: Re: Why would you do this????????????????
Post by: No Golf Clubs at all on 06 August 2008, 14:13: Yes maybe he took the car apart to find some W.O.M.D, then had to back fill the damage with whatever parts he could get his hands on.... :rolleyes:

can you imagine trying to sell that monstronsity on? For Sale one cool Golf GTI, modified to look like a basic golf......Premium steak dressed as hamburger....come to think of it...perhaps that explains it a little more.....they do like their hamburgers over there don't they.... :smiley:

Title: Re: Why would you do this????????????????
Post by: 2007GTI on 07 August 2008, 12:39: I am totally all for OEM, and get that fact the MKV is harking back to the MKI and love my own MKV GTI looks.

However I can see where this crazy Yank is coming from, kinda.

Also its a sheep in a wolf's clothing, which is funny I guess, to them.

But then its is slightly stupid, but each to their own.

Least he actually has a GTI, rather than those crazy folk who buy a 1.6 Golf and spend more than a GTI costs kitting it out to look like one!

Post by: Chris-White on 10 August 2008, 18:35: no different to mk2's and 3's with debadged grilles / single light conversions though is it?

removes some of the fussiness that the mk5 front sometimes seems to have imo.
