What do you think of this?

Changing the grille for one from a standard Golf:



I guess the red lines are a big visual marker for the GTI...

Doesnt actually look that bad, but the GTI one is nicer IMO.

Bare in mind that car is also dropped and sitting on different wheels. Put that grille on a standard GTI and I think it would look cack.

Certainly gives it a stealth look. I prefer the GTi one though

If you cover up the 'good bits' on the photo with your hands, the grill looks as if it came from a bog standard TDI.

Same thing I think - but thankfully VW had the sense to re-design the dull GTI front bumper and come up with something a bit more interesting and less black for the R.

The R grille is similar, but with wider gaps and thinner slats. And of course it goes faster  :wink:
