I don't like them :shocked:

Three reasons really:-

1. They stick out from the bodywork.
2. They encroach on part of the bodywork on the inner side, covering what is (for me) the best few curves of the front section.
3. They don't blend like the honeycomb OEM ones do with the grille.

....Same 3 reasons for me too. I didn't notice reason #2 until I posted the pics.

I like the look of the whole car, though would never do mine like that!

The CF fogvents suit the design of that particular car but would look  :sick: on any stock GTi unless they were smoothed in and flush with the bodywork and colourmatched to the rest of the car.

....Some folks in the U S of A have colour coded those CF fog vents but they look even more 'aftermarket' as a result. Each to their own though :cool:

how can you say theyre chav.. ???

maybes your chavs down your way are up market, but i dont know any chavs with carbon fibre on their cars... they all drive broken chavaliers, old fiestas, novas... and spend all their money at halfords on ripseed.. the only chavs with carbon fibre i can think of is the sticky stuff from halfords.lol

Sorry mate, no offence intended :shocked:

'Up my way' please, I'm from the frozen, wet north ..........

Chav in my book is tasteless and confused - that, IMHO, is what this mod is about :huh:

As for the dictionary definition, I defer to others:
