so, ive read all the comments and ive calculated that if i take them all on board i'll have a std GTI

A standard gti doesn't wear a wannabe r32 rear or drag it's nipples on the floor  ha ha.

But i do give you (and other baggy fellas) credit for your creations  :happy2:

Is there a button to ignore certain people if not can we get one ??? :signLOL:

An ignore button like the one on the left there <<< Chris?  :wink: :innocent:

Fair comments guys, but it's only that i love this shape so much that i bother to

post. I see it like this . . . mr volkswagen gave us a fabulous car to work with and

if i see something that doesn't sit right visually, isn't it better that i'm honest enough

to give my opinion rather than keep it to myself.

      It's like when you see a hoodie running from a granny flat - then later that evening

you think . . . "i should've rung the filth".  Well i guess i'm just ringing the filth  :smiley:

Ok, apologies to any i've offended. I think my views, in part, stem from when i was

younger and my next door neighbour made the rear of his mk3 escort 1.6 gl look like

the xr3i and people laughed at him, well it's happening today and i'm not a fan.

        Honesty is the best policy  :smiley:

Unfortunately, mods don't have one! Shame.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I think you've made your point and some things you say make sense, but it's clear with your views that you are never going to like much about this particular car as it's intended to be different and far from standard! Therefore this thread isn't for you clearly and posting in it won't get you anywhere... Why not click the ignore button on this thread and save many people having to ignore your comments :signLOL:

In my experience its not what u say rather how u say it, for example i could say that Tommy30 was a complete idiot or i could say that tommy30 could possibly phrase his comments in a slight better way. I wouldnt dream of saying someone's car was sh1t i may however communicate that it wasnt to my liking.....  I was once told that if you put yourself out there then youve gotta be able to take it so its all water of a ducks back, with the cars i build im used to it by now i :signLOL: I build MY cars the way I want to and if people like them all's the better, if not its no big deal  :smiley:

Im not trying to big my self up here and I know the mk5 dont appeal to "everyone" but in my experience its liked by most, ive had everything from 12 year old boys in the street to old grannies at Tesco telling me how nice the car is. Its had 5 magazine features, 3 covers and ive still got mags banging at my door to shoot it, the impact the car had on the VW community when it broke cover was said to have been the biggest in 10 years. If im honest the only negativity ive ever experienced has came from this forum which i can understand as you guys are the core fan club (dare i say purists) for the MK5 GTI etc etc.

As i said earlier in this  thread i'll be sure to keep u guys up to date with how things progress with the car  :happy2: u never know it might start ticking some of "haters" boxes .....there again maybe not  :P

mate- you keep doing what you do.
this car had a profound effect on me just as i was buying my mk5.
if we dont have people like you pushing some boundaries we would all still be driving std!

and i was always told if you aint got something nice to say then dont say anything. constructive crit is one thing,but just not agreeing cos it aint your thing is a pointless exercise. and it stops people listening to you when you have got something positive or encouraging to say!
sub'd to this thread for the long haul!
