flash Red!
« on: 24 February 2014, 09:35 »
Hey guys here I have my GTI and I'd just like some opinions on what I can do to the body just to make it that little more attractive!
Thanks in advance!

I already have these that I customised myself, waiting to finish the full set then they will be going on.

Not to put a dampener on your work but I hvae never understood why people rock the audi/merc centre caps on a golf  :huh:

But I would get yor grill black, maybe wrap your roof black too break up that red abit.

+1 also maybe get a cheapish anni valance and tint the windows and headlamps?

Nah limo black with no red mate buddy, too much red otherwise! Also not too sure on the roof blacked out, I like ninos recommendations but something tells me a anni spoiler with body kit and lowered with the front black grill, lightly tinted headlamps like niƱo, Sharon rear badge blacked out vw with coloured in background, beesting areal, refurb the alloys to a darker shade of grey or black and you're laughing mate

I'm loving the ideas guys  :grin:
I'll be referring my alloys when(if) the weather gets better, a nice audi quartz grey, I'd like tinted window, I will have to get them done properly by a body shop somewhere as I tried doing window tint on my old corsa.. Which didn't turn out so well aha  :whistle: I'm getting a stubby aerial soon with wind deflectors not sure on wrapping roof thou has it may look cheap? Although what would these things roughly cost? Anyone had there's done recently?
Thanks  :grin: :grin:
