after washing the GTI today I reckoned it needs a little something to brighten the lines. (on a black car)
So I fancy the wing mirrors like on the Audi's
Can be bought as chrome and/or DIY'd into a brush sation alu look
(seen a golfmkv thread)
Nice or Nasty?
-
Nooooo...
-
Not my thing, look on ebay i saw some on there if you really want them
-
Chrome no :sick:
Satin Alu maybe :undecided:
-
Defo not chrome imho, i cant believe that you are going to do this mod. :smug:
-
Cheapens the overall look of the car imo.
-
Carbon Fibre :smiley:

No don't do it, then all the Audi boys will think what a "WANNABE S3" !! :tongue:
Gaz will forever be taking the mick out of you !

Start a bank account as a new car fund.
Whenever daft modding urges pop into your noggin just price them up and pay the money into the account.
That way you'll keep a perfect GTI and have lots of dosh for the Mk7.

well just to be stubborn , I still like it :cool:
carbon are nice but maybe too subtle
rare in the uk on a mkv , so thats a good thing
dont mind I'm copying Audi , because it still looks good imho (besides I am a wannabe S3 :grin:)
Gaz I can handle as he'll be to busy trying to tell me about his Haldex :tongue: while I whisk past [wish :tongue:]
Hurdy thanks for the offer , but I need chrome (to be able to make it brushed effect)
(unless you can find a good brushed effect satin chrome finish!)
Egbert , common sense yes , but thats too boring :smiley:
