Quads with a badge is my liking, but my car is keeping the standard ish look. once its on the floor running 14" alloys single wiper and the rest of it, the single headlight grill seems to work well... just dont stick jetta headlamps on it  :angry:

heres my quad to inspire, with blac badge and non uprated candles




that looks well smart, ive got some red trim i might put on my grill, not sure how well it would go with the blue though.

What front indicators are they? Are the smoked or crystals? :embarassed:

Cheers

cyrstals, i got a brand new VAG quad grill with red trim. lying around waiting to be fitted. ill probably sell my current grille then even though its in pretty good nick. i noticed on ebay you can pattern grills for around £20 with the red trim but have been told the finish isnt as good as VAG. just checked your photoshoped pics, maybe you should back to black the bumpers, i found it makes a hell of a difference to the look

Back To Black is poo! Get some Kiwi shoe cream on your trim. This stuff goes on like paint in minutes and survives several washes. Also costs bugger all :wink:

Forget back to black, get yourself down to morrisons supermarket and buy some of there black shoe polish, its about 90p and is in a grey tub with a sponge lid, use some of that on the bumpers and it lasts much longer, you will probably need 2 coats though at least looking at your bumpers to really bring out the colour

Think so, it's in a smallish bottle with a foam aplicator and you dab it on. You will probably need two looking at your bumpers and then buff up with a cloth. The best thing about it is it stay's on for ages. I will never buy expensive bumper stuff ever again!! :smiley:

i used to love debadged grills but now i think i like the quad light grill just as much. Get a GTI one with the red stripe round the outside and get crystal headlights and inner lights and bobs ur uncle!  :cool:

Get a GTi grill dude.
 
I bough a singlelight grill and really disliked it after a while. Put my standard GTi grill on now and I like it more. Another thing mostcheap single light grills are crap. I'v ehad min about 6 months and when ireplaced it today i's knackered. In the bin it goes.

Also flashing people(for giving way) is better with 4 lights  :cool:
