OK, this is just my opinion,, looking at the front of the car, you have almost a dozen different horizontal lines, and thats from the swage on the bonnet, to the top of the bumper! red moulding only adds to the confusion, its too busy! your eye is drawn to it for the wrong reasons..
Jetta headlamps are a little bit ten years ago, the bonnet lifters would look great if the front was a more simple "look" eg standard single round headlamps (not crystal) simple debadged grill, with a fairing, keep the bumper as is, bonnet lifters would then look cool! German plates to finish

Side of car has to be done carefully too!  the extra rear door, again means theres too much going on!  Painting the wheel centres black, I think is a good idea, not much else to do really, except getting rid of door handles, but that costs $$$$
My opinion is , if your going away from the factory look, keeping it simple is the name of the game!
Hope that didn't hurt :wink:

i think it looked its best just before you put the eyebrow spoiler on,  umm, the vr front splitter has shown me i definatly dont want one as i was thinking about it, bonnet lifters...why not ey? , have you done something odd to the lights? they look abit upset.... the eyebrow looked ok but for some reason on your car it looked better without, obviously i like the jetta front end as i have one and im hooked now, i dont like round lights on a square car personaly. i actually like those wheels tho, not as nice as your old ones tho  :smiley:

i used to run bonnet lifters on my old beetle but that was just to aid cooling and introduce slightly more airflow into the engine area.
