hurdy, step away from the carbon wrap!

This.

It's not going to wrap up any faster, or lighter.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Maybe carbon wrap the red bits on the grille, and just get a red GTI badge to break it up.  :cool:

Red carbon wrap?

No just a red badge. I like the satin black instead of carbon wrap idea too. But do what you feel bud, its not like you follow the pack with your car and you seem to have done alright by yourself.  :lipsrsealed: :smiley:

The red badge is a good idea, especially if I black out the red strips. Satin black on the grey fog panels wouldn't work. I looked at gloss black first, but the panels aren't completely smooth ( they have a grainy effect to them ) and the grain shows through. The carbon wrap is slightly thicker and has an emboss type pattern with it to get the carbon effect, which covers the grainy surface well. Real carbon would be my personal favourite, but there are no parts at all out there, so it would have to be custom skinning with real carbon fibre and that would add more weight than the vinyl!!
Satin or gloss on the red strips would work  :cool:

Personally I love the red strips! Maybe do the bottom grill surround red to match? and the small section that links the fog surrounds in carbon to match. Obviously, if you wanted to do the GTI badge red then maybe loose the red bars......

Agree with holding back on the blue peter mods but otherwise this is cracking!

Red - it sets it off nicely (as it's supposed to).

I'll be getting a red GTI badge for the front, so I thought the black would highlight that more instead  :smiley:
