If you are considering cosmetically modding your Pearlescent Black GTI (the very best black by far in my opinion) then what suits my red car might not suit the black. It's a question of individual taste.

I see what your saying about the carbon badgemaybe not looking in place on my black car as it will retract from the over-all look of the front of the car but i think the VW badge in the front grill stick out a mile away and in some ways takes away from the "GTI" bade in the grill. If anything i want to slighlty darken that front VW badge so the "Red lipstick" around the grill and the "GTI" appear more vivid.

I think i need a slighlty smoked VW front and rear badge but i dont think i can get them from anywhere......i think the closest thing would be the one you have.

I think what im going to do is get some 18" monza's with some Pirelli tyres (the ones that have "Pirelli" embossed in red paint on the actual tyre - i think they will look fab). After that i need a nice front chin spoiler.

Anyone know what model those Pirelli tyres are that have Pirelli written on the tyre in red? They feature alot on Ferarris.....

....A carbon front VW badge will probably work quite well - Carbon is quite shiny and it won't visually disappear.
