If you're undecided you can tick both... Or neither!

I like both looks and alot depends on wheels and the theme of the car.But I do think it spoils some cars when everythings removed arches,spoiler etc etc just my view.My own car suits arches well thats why Ive left them on and a piccys to argue my case  :grin:

Some people will say that it is no longer a GTI without the arches but it never worried me.  :smiley:

Completely depends on the car IMO.

With all the GTI bumpers, yes IMO.

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Agreed depends on wheels,colour and theme of the car but some do look pants without the arches imo to much like a CL with a set of wheels..

I think the arch gives a tougher look, but without still looks good.  keeping them on my car. :-)
