Hey guys,

I really want my GTI to look a bit more aggressive and I find myself looking at picture like these and thinking whether I should get one or not.

Am I being an ultra chav with this? ( I am only 27 - so can i get away with it, or it going to ruin the car and the image.)

Ahhhh...cant decide. Help

What colour would you do it Ross? If you keep it the same colour as the car I think it would look pretty good, but if you did it black I think it would be abit too in your face.

Not a fan.  If you want to go more aggressive, why not go for the front air scoops featured a few threads down.  They look great, purposeful and aggressive without looking chavvy.

Liking the wheels in the first pic  :cool:

I dont think the front end's look too bad on the MK6, I do like the air scoops, but there has been many a time when i actually needed fog lights.

I just think the back end needs some grunt.....


what about some of these  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Yeah getting done in gloss black. Seen as mine is carbon grey, I think it would look nice if mirror's, rear diffusser and spoiler was done in gloss black

I am a fan, the white R pictured looks great. I agree with one of the above comments as to get it same color as rest of car if you have a standard GTI.
