I went for the 'Go for the GTI look' but in my opinion you shouldn't put a GTI badge on it!  :smiley:

I don't see the point, surely you'd spend as much making it look like a GTi as you would just buying a GTi?

It's a gt i have, and will put gt badge back on, i think the stripe is going to be painted blue along with my calipers.
i just think this looks different i haven't seen any other gt/gti  on the road like this in the uk yet.

....Each to their own, mate :afro:

I agree with Fat Top Cat - Only on black car.

Have you considered having honeycombe to lower centre grill as well as upper and just having the 'fog' grills slatted?

Oooooops!! I've just realised - What will this mod do to the fog venting according to T_T?

Now that would look cack!  :sick:

If you look closely though, you should notice the lower lip is open, which will still allow air to the brake ducts and lower part of the intercooler!  :smug:

....Agreed, but ETTO and I also think the mixture in the pic posted looks cack.

....It's going to be very interesting to read your comments later this week when I (eventually!!) get to VWR (fecking Quaife put the wrong diff in the right box!) and TTshop and come home with a further front modification.
