My black /chrome gti
« on: 13 June 2016, 11:19 »
I was looking at putting red strips instead of the chrome but the red plastic strips I bought splinted as I cut them so went with my second option of chrome to bring the front grill out a little. Its held on with m3 tape and can be removed easy enough but I like it and it does look better in the flesh.

It reminds me of a bus I saw the last time I was in India.

On any other colour I'd probably cringe.
But it sort of works with the black.
Well done for being brave!

Another no, sorry.

I think your idea of the red (just on the 3x fins, not the lower fin) would look good though.

Yeah it may, I really like the front fins but they go missing a little on the black....the good thing though is it does look better in the flesh and parked under street lights at night it looks fab.
