You can't even see the bonnet lifters and you can get so much more access to the engine without that great big rod stiking up :D

I'd change the front end to a quad light as jetta fronts on mk2's are only for Rallyes otherwise they do give it a bit of a chav look imo.
How did you raise the rear of the bonnet? using brackets? Wheels look cool and will look cooler black and polished other than that not a chav golf unless you wear a Burberry tracksuit lol
for once..i actually agree with him ^

I think some of us have kinda mis understood you. By bonnet lifters you mean the raised bonnet dont you. I thought you meant you had gas rams to lift your bonnet like you do in the boot.

Anyway im not a fan of the raised bonnet either.

The wheels look fine, not sure how they'd look with black spokes and polished rims.
Lose the jetta lights, square lights only look good on the rallye or the jetta, go for round lights. Have a go on dubmodder and try either quad lights or just single lights with a debadged grill.

Bonnet lifters, not worth it unless you mean gas struts to hold the bonnet open, but even then it's not worth it unless you plan to open up and show your engine at meets.

A lot of people have that opinion of getting rid of the jetta lights, looks like they are becoming less common, keep them as many others prefer round :P

Si - I liked it when I saw it close up in the flesh so to speak!

Just ditch those bonnet lifters - they really are a bit naff and chavvy!

if it was mine, id loose the lifters, and the eyebrows or tape on the lights, maybe replace the indicators with clear lenses. not 100% on the splitter. i like the long eyebrow on the jetta lights and i think the red adds to the retro look.

Personally I'd lose the eyebrows and the chin spoiler but it's your car.

I assume lifting the rear of the bonnet is a throwback to beetles running with the engine cover raised to get cool air in?

Some of the guys with Mini turbos run the rear of the bonnet raised to aid cooling but a Mini turbo 'bay is rather crowded.


Wrong wheels and mine's Calypso not snot but it's close enough
