LOL - you guys love the mudflaps  :grin:

I'm actually very tempted to keep them, want to keep it as standard looking as possible.  This and it having 5 doors, it looks a little less chav, and helps me to blend in with society, rather than have the barry boys lining up next to me for a traffic light grand prix..

The towbar, while it's a good reverse parking sensor, may have to go..  I've got a motorbike I might get a trailer for and track, but it can go back on if I do that.

Oh, the rear gti badge has been removed (badly..) which may explain the lack of front badge.

My GTi doesn't have a front badge and i'm not sure that they all do?  :huh:

I'll probably be fitting one at some stage though!

They would have done at some point.

i think the mudflaps look great!  :laugh:

oh who am i trying to kid... lose them!  :evil:

badges are a quick fix from the stealer... you could replace the middle rear vw emblem with either a shiny silver one or a black one

i'd machine polish the paint where the other badge was removed though

other than that it looks pretty straight... like the fact that you're going to keep it original

I'm going to see 2 mates tonight about machine polishing too, get it booked in with them after Trax.  Badges and tow eye defo on the list from the dealer.

As for original - it becomes hard when you see things like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320290113207&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011

If you can't see the item, BBS wheels refurbed in alloy/grey.  Got a very big soft spot for all things anthracite!
