Dark car = De-arched
Light car = Arches

+1 white and silver looks spot on with arches.

Dearched for the win. If I had a red GTi, white GTi or blue GTi I'd have them on, otherwise no.

Looks much tidier if you replace all the side trims with cl spec.

I have a red GTI, it's staying on.

If the black contrasts the colour of the body, leave them, failing that take them off.
