Title: What do we think?!
Post by: VeeDubClub on 07 September 2008, 21:35
I need some help people.. i just cant decide which grill combination to go for!

theres some pics below of the different choices that i just cant decide, so if you could let me know what you think that would be great!

Debadged with gti badge to the side (Oh yea and the bonnet bra is for sale so i put it on to take a pic) Please see http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=90776.0 a few other bits for sale there as well  :wink:

I like the black badged grill as it goes well with your black headlights and makes it look more cohesive. I would also black the VW badge as well.

Another man with Morette's! Good taste Sir!! :wink:

Colour code FTW, body colour the lights & then go with the blue grill IMO! :smiley:

Thanks for the comments chaps!

I'm liking the idea of blacking the vw badge but i think i might stick with the blue/black grill.. the pure black one may be too much black?

Hmmm.. i debated spraying my lights blue when i bought the car but sounds like too much blue! I reckon the black goes well as its a nice contrast?!

quite like both the black and the blue body colour grille ideas... can see where your dilemma is

if you go for the third option drop the GTi badge from that position as it looks odd imo... would look better on next 'rung' up

Get rid of the GTi badge :cool:

Yea i was thinking of removing the gti badge.. the only reason i put it there is because the black part of the grille is from my old golf driver that i had before my gti. Found it in the garage and as im skint so thought i would have a bit of an experiment to change without spending money  :grin: but the driver grille slats are closer together so the gti badge doesnt fit there.. will take it out tomorrow and see how that looks...

But at the same time im still liking the pure black grille! Might just change every week lol!

i say non

put the standard one back on, all those look wrong for some reason and the twin lights look weird??  think they need to be blue also

sorry if this hurts just voicing my opinion rather than just been a sheep (not saying anyone is however)

Hmm.. Na it doesnt hurt, i wanted peoples honest opinions!  :smiley:

Just not sure what to do with the front end! I bought it with those lights and ive never really been that keen on them, i did however get the original ones included in the sale so im thinking about sticking them back on. I think there would be too much blue if i sprayed them blue?! I really dont no lol

they would look wicked all blue, and with the OE grill on too.. thats jusy my opinion anyhow

end of the day its your car and if you like it a certain way then who are we to stand in your way :wink:

hmm we'll see what happens over the next few weeks! Gunna see what i can come up with.

I think i would go down the all blue route if i could get hold of some smoked lenses like yours.. or spray them myself and invest in some HID's.

I'll top this up with any updates  :wink:

Cheers for the input anyway chaps!

Post by: VeeDubClub on 14 September 2008, 19:22
