1 thing that lets this car down

that horrid grill....

OEM grill is by far the better

 :cool:

Haha, I love it....this grill is like marmite!  :laugh:

I'm still unsure about it myself and until I get a decent photoshop of the car black oem grill it's staying as it is  :smiley:

Sweet looking ride bud!you need so TT comps now! :evil:

Cheers mate :afro:

I hadn't really thought of TT comps, but that could work actually! When I get round to sorting out the wheels i'll maybe look into them  :smiley:

This is like the whole epidemic I had when I chose between a badgeless grill or badged grill. I think you should keep the debadged with black slats. Looks mean. :afro:

Yeah I think so too but i've got to put my mind at rest.  :laugh:

I did a quick, very poor photoshop until Shady does me a better one tomorrow  :kiss:



Now i'm really not too sure  :undecided:

I may have to get the black rattle cans out soon  :lipsrsealed:

Looks better on the standard grill, debaged grill is ok but looks daft with the GTI badge stuck on.

See i'm kind of swaying towards OEM grill with black slats but at the same time I wanna do something different with the front. I don't wanna do a vento front end, mainly because i'm not a massive fan of them but also because DrewGti's looks immense and it'd make mine look poo in comparison.

I don't think hella quads would suit the car, and other than the grill that doesn't really leave anything to change. I could mess around smoothing bumpers etc but that's a lot of work (i'd probably change my mind once they were done and end up sourcing normal ones instead!) Which as i've just said only leaves the grill, i'm not a fan of mesh grills, which only leaves me with a debadged one.  :undecided:

I also like the way that opinions are split about it, it'd be boring if everyone like the same things wouldn't it  :laugh:

Who thought a little badge would cause me such a dilema   :grin:

the badge is a issue... i mean why debadge then add a badge, it really does look all wrong

debadged grills also look a lil dated now... i dont like them on the mk 3.. probably more hate than what i do vento fronts

OEM + is what its about these days but its your car and you need to follow your own heart, never mind us lot

Well I need to buy some more lacquer before I start anything, but i'll spray up the badged grill on Friday when i'm off work and see what it looks like  :wink:

My little bro got me an i love speedbumps sticker and some smoked side repeaters for my b'day. Side repeaters haven't arrived but the sticker is on:
