The third one but more muted if possible.

I'm a lady and think the pink is :sick:  Why do blokes assume women always love pink??

Well thats because at least 70% of women do like Pink / Purple / Rose colours.....Its a scientific fact.

But i guess its girly girls, not cool ones who own GTI's  :grin:

Haha.  Interesting that you are so clued up on pink facts  :laugh: 

Pink has its place but for me it's not on a car.  Unless it's this:

My daughter's Barbie car........yes I'm hypocritically guilty of perpetuating the girls/pink thing  :laugh:

Not feeling this, try and go for a colour that keeps it looking OEM.... Those colours make it look a bit like a halfords mod  :sick:

Nah....dont want OEM anymore...want some Euro action. Just want its looking fresh, and truest me, Red dont look at that great on Carbon Grey.

Im think Green or Blue....or maybe Orange.......Ohhh sh1t i have no idea..

Don't do it! Why change the thing that dickens the GTI from other golfs?

The red strike is what sets it apart. The GTD grille looks pish IMO without the red.

I'm one of the gtd owners with the chrome grill and would've liked red.
Can the red strips be bought seperately or is it a complete grill?

Also does the Gti badge just unclip? Wondered if I bought a grill would my gtd badge unclip and fit into the new grill?
