It's a good idea but with the red strips on the wing mirrors, GTI  and VW badge IMO just looks a bit too much.

Nice and clean though  :happy2:

After seeing nousey's car, I felt the red lip was a bit too OTT for my own car but felt a red stripe might be a bit better. Can't see it particularly well on the iPhone.

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

Yea the map went well mate, lovin it very strong in the mid range. The only thing im not liking about it is the low rev throtte resposnse, it feels a bit severe, it reminds me a bit of my m3 in sport mode. I guess it will take a little bit of driver adjustment as im starting to learn how to dial it out now though.

did you notice on yours keith that the engine temperature rises quicker ?

for me its either stripes on the mirrors or stripes on the splitter, not both

both, along with the grill is just a few to many red accents

..that said, if you like it then thats all that matters  :happy2:
