Looks awesome. However IMO the centre strip looks out of kilter with the rest of the engine bay. Maybe paint it gloss silver?

Hmmmmm, thats a thought....

Cheers for the feedback :smiley:

That is one wild looking bumper, not sure about the chin spoiler, certainly somthing different from the norm, car looks brilliant loving the colour.

Cheers for the feedback guys. I just wanted a different kind of look and am a sucker for the Oettinger gear! :ashamed:

That looks very purposeful! Very 'I-suck-in-lots-of-air-and-go-like-the-wind!' It particularly suits the grey.  :congrats: :congrats:

I don't like the car bra though, but that's just me, I don't like them on any GTI. Imo it looks OTT in combination with your oettinger front.

Very very nice !!!

I had the Oettinger kit...

I do think you need the side skirts & 19" wheels to make it look complete imho  :happy2:

Rich, Yours looks stunning in red pal :drool: I'd thought about the skirts but wasnt convinced that i really needed them as i dont think the car looks front-heavy without them. I dont know, i may end up changing my mind...!! :ashamed: I'm loving the 19s but unfortunately my budget DEFINITELY wont stretch to those...unless of course you have a set going cheap... :wink:
Cheers for the feedback pal :happy2:

Subtle mod to my engine cover...I just wanted to highlight the embossed writing and am pleased with the way it turned out...
