I concur: bumber - ay, doors - nay.
And on the back there should be 6 exhaust pipes sticking out, 3 on each side, 100mm diameter each  :wink:

Smoothing the doors looks crap in my opinion. AND it's totally impractical in the real world.

Smoothing the 'bumper' looks good though.

^^^^ Love that dam car!

Hurdy. I like it stock. Why not get the little washer thingies fitted? Apparently using them is the easiest way to clean your car and the cars within one square mile from you  :evil:

I'd have to charge everyone else for cleaning their cars too :wink:

bumper smoothing is nice , sides nope

and 4 pipes is plenty for the golf , 6 just starts to look silly (unless you have fitted that W12  :tongue:)

I reckon a single big pipe would suit the Golf (and no not a chavvy one , more tasteful than that)

agree with the majority above - bumpers look good smoothed but leave the doors.

but as its a 'limited edition' then i'd keep the outside looking stock.  if it ain't broke don't fix it  :wink:

i am confused why anyone would buy a limited edition car then piss about with its looks, imo it would then loose value over a oem looking model.Espec with an ED30 its sacrilege. :sad:
