Sorry but those DRL LED's aren't to my taste as they spoil the lines od the car.

I do like LED's when used carefully, but I'd feel like a right prat if I had eyebrows on my Ed30 and LEDs in the front like that and I'd have to go to shows with a brown paper bag over my head...   :embarassed: :embarassed: :grin: :grin:

The GTI is an iconic car, not a circus act and should be kept as is unless the mods are discreet and purposeful, rather like the GTI ethos.  Only very few GTIs get away with in your face modding - Red Robin's lovely GTI is an exception although even with that car, the four-quad exhausts ...  :lipsrsealed:

....Yep, I would have gone for a R32 style of exhaust had that option been available 2 years ago. I was offered the quads at a good price (one of the first in the UK) and have got quite used to their appearance. They do seem to keep boy-racers at bay!

....I really like those LED Daylight Driving Lights. They work really well at high speed to warn you of a fast approach without blinding you or making it more difficult to judge the distance.




are those Porsche Cup rims?

those lights looks awesome :cool:!! and i think they are porsch cup rims. Thats the best looking gti ive seen without goin over the top :cool:. dont like the light brows thow  :lipsrsealed:

Sorry but this looks crap - don't like the gooky old 'Herbie' look at all :sick: :sick: :sick:

....No power gains other than from the Hi-flow+Downpipe (aka Turbo-back). The sound is possibly slightly different - Deeper? But I haven't made direct comparisons.

....Each to their own and respect for other people's taste (or lack of it!) :grin:

All the decals represent people I enjoy a particularly good relationship with: Tyresmoke car community, Revo, AP Racing, Milltek, BIALI Motorsport. They have helped me and I'm happy to promote them. I wouldn't put stickers on the body though.

It's a modified 06 spec GTI, not Ed30, with Abt rear valance, Mk5 R32 sides (and OSIR front splitter), all colour coded.

Cheers :smiley:
