Different Colour Front Grill Stripes - Which Do you Like?

[RocketRossUK]

I agree with Rick - keep it as it is.
Other colours look like an 18 year old's Halford mod and nobody will want to buy it when you come to sell it.

Each to their own though - the world would be a dull place if we were all the same.

Im never usually swayed by what other people think, but with so many people saying it doesnt look good, im starting to question it.

It was only going to be Vinyl wrapped not sprayed, so it was never permanent............mmmmmm -tough choice now

The age thing is a valid point.  Don't know how old you are, but when you see unsubtle heavily modded cars they are usually driven by 18-20 year olds.   Bit of a different matter seeing a 30+ year old driving one and looking a bit of a kn0b - no offence but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Agreed. I'm 45 and wouldn't dream of putting a Halford-esque mod like that on my car. OEM look all the way for someone my age. I'd map it, stick a Miltek on it, maybe even lower it but it'll stick look the classy machine it always did. Pink stripes on the front though, noooooo!!!
However, it's your car and you're perfectly entitled to do whatever you want with it - just because this old fogey wouldn't do it doesn't mean to say you shouldn't.

Well, to clear things up im 26 years old. So in the middle really. I have the same outlook as most of you. I hate badly done body kits, sh!tty gear knobs etc....

I didnt think changing the colour of the front stripe was in that category. When i look back at the picture they do look too vibrant, it would be more of a subtle blue or orange.

And in regards to mods. I think changing the sound (ie with a miltek) and lowering it makes it less OEM. (both of which i plan to do over the next few weeks)

I'm one of the gtd owners with the chrome grill and would've liked red.
Can the red strips be bought seperately or is it a complete grill?

Also does the Gti badge just unclip? Wondered if I bought a grill would my gtd badge unclip and fit into the new grill?

Its a complete grill. I needed a new grill and would have liked the chrome but its £250 from the dealers. I tried sourcing one else where but couldnt find one, so I ended up buying a gti reg grill for £50. The strips do unclip and so does the badge but with great difficulty, your best bet is to break the clips off the badge and glue it back on.
im sure the strips are quite easy to unclip, you can do that then spray them the colour you want.
