Looking good again and a couple of subtle mods
« on: 14 December 2008, 13:06 »
The car has been looking worse for wear over the past 6 weeks.  No opportunity to wash it and a smashed fog light left it looking about as bad as ive seen it in the 3 years ive owned it.

I've added the black VW badge on the front which i think looks brilliant.  I wasnt sold on it until a few weeks ago, i was walking up to the car under street lights and looked at it and thought, the badge is ruining the angry looking front  :tongue:

I've also added the open grills which are not well captured in the pics, but with the badge I really feel they have fininshed the front off.  I'm really pleased with the car now, there isnt one part im not happy with.  Oh...............the fact that my rns-510 arrived with a dead HD, but that will be resolved shortly :laugh:

Hope you all like the car :smiley:

















Thanks for looking

Looks swish! I washed my car 2 - 3 weeks ago and it looks horrendous now!

Where'd you get the black badge from?

I've been thinking about getting a black badge (not CF!) but then I feel I need to take the GTI off the front, otherwise it looks like a mishmash of styles.

Wow, that is one clean car. Agree the black badge finishes it off very nicely. Something VW should bring back to GTI as standard IMO

A guy on ebay makes them up in satin or matt finish for £30 delivered.  Really happy with the quality.  His username is tom_barker123.  He makes them to order :smiley:
