I'v been a member for a shirt while now and thought it's about time I shared some pics..

Let us know what you think..  :cool:

Welcome on board mate. Ignore the negative brigade, it's been a slow news week around here and in a valiant attempt to liven things up, one of our members has even offered to undergo a sex change. I'm sure we'll be voting on his stage name by next weekend.  :laugh:

You're a brave man to have your cars so low, there are some humps round where I live that would have your front valance off at the first time of asking!

Welcome aboard GTD2010 (and your shirt).

I think you have done some interesting things to your cars. You've certainly spent some time and (hopfully) money on them.

Are the black Xenons a retro fit or was the car already specced with Xenons? I also like the black wheels on the black car.
Ride's a bit low for my tastes but that's because I'm old and maybe you're a bit more into youth culture!!!

Anybody would think that Golf GTIs had only been in existance a few years from some of the replies, when I was young and the mk1 hadn't been long out of production and the mk2 was a new car there were loads of people back then doing GTI lookalikes (even VW with the original GTD and Driver models), and others were doing XR lookalikes on their Fords. If done tastefully it'd fine. Taste however is far more important with a VAG car than say a Ford IMO  :smiley: (But only 'cos us VAG fans look down our noses at Fords etc  :laugh: )

Don't be afraid to come back here and tell us more about your creations, the pictures are very nice but they tell only a small part of the story, this forum is about the people behind the cars.  :smiley:

GTD 2010:
If I seemed in any way negative, you are welcome to flog me!
But I hate being confused at 63 and rising.
Welcome again and thanks for livening things here especially for me! :grin:

Lookalikes/copies have been around for many years.

I hated them then and I still hate them now - especially the ones with fake badges.

I don't understand the mentality. Are the people you'd want to impress the most not the ones who'd instantly spot the fake? I saw a Mk6 'GTI' the other day with the boot badge on the right and it wasn't even straight. Put his foot down and a cloud of dirty diesel smoke belched out the back. Very convincing.  :laugh:

Chist, look at the spelling mistakes in my previous reply. That bloody hour less in bed has killed my typing skills!!
Anyway, got to say I agree with you on the badging issue. Not bothered about people putting GTI/D bumpers on GTs etc if the car is modified and has the power to back up the image.

Then again, some are just owned by youngsters who want the image but can't afford the insurance. It's their money......(I just hate it when they go round nicking bits off other peoples cars to decorate their own  :angry: )

Whilst these mods may not be everyone's cup of tea I find some of the extreme negative comments a bit hypocritical.  We even have a sticky that asks people to talk about their mods. 

We've also had a completely different response to DRC's post on his mods.  Whilst DRC's mods are a little more subtle/classy it's all down to personal taste.

As Golfs slowly drop in price we will see more and more mods that aren’t all quite everyone cup of tea.
