They look a lot cleaner without them plus you get rid of mud /watertraps.

It's a tough one!
My gti has them and looks great.
My vr6 doesn't and is fully smoothed (euro) and also looks great.

If your going to leave the exterior and just want to remove the arches, don't bother.

But if you colour code the bumpers, remove the skirts and rear spoiler, then go for it

Yh agree with tweed. I ripped mine off, but I also took off the sill covers, and I'm colour coding the bumpers and side trim

Cheaper to find colour coded bumpers on eBay.

Leave the side skirts off for a much cleaner look.

Look in the mk3 appreciation thread for ideas and what I'm trying to suggest.
