Hello all,

have a reflex silver GTi = at the moment 100% standard.  Nice car with good spec (18 inch Monza's, xenons, MFD2 dvd sat nav, leather, winter pack and a Parrot MKi9200 which is a GREAT addon) - anyway, went with silver as it is a nice discreet colour and pretty easy to keep tidy - however would now like to perform a few cosmetic customisations - here is the list:


* Fit Edition 30 Front Spolier and get colour coded
* Colour code the side skirts
* Colour code the rear (and at some point replace with an R32 rear and a milltek conversion for R32 exhausts)
* Fit a black front VW badge
* Fit a black rear VW badge - not sure how easy this will be as I have the smooth version
These changes are pretty much "par for the course" and I am not being terribly original BUT I like the look having seen other people's mods and am confident it will improve the car aesthetically! 

Am also considering the following:

Spray wing mirrors black or anthracite colour (one is scuffed anyway)
Refurb alloys black or anthracite

Just wondering if anyone has good photoshop skills and can help me visualise what it might look like with the wing mirrors and wheels changed...

Really want to keep the car as close to OEM as possible but make it subtly more unique...

Any thoughts/tips?

After the cosmetic - will then look to improve the cars breathing and exhaust profile... but that is all - no remaps for me and suspension will only be modified the existing ones give up the ghost...

Post a pic of your car up and let's see if someone can do some photoshop magic.

Hi - thanks for that - had spotted it, but I am trying to resist it - if I get that then I will have no choice but to go down the Milltek R32 exhaust route  :wink: which will make my bank manager most unhappy  8) :sad:

Now... if it was £75 delivered AND it had the bottom trim aswell then I would snap it up :o) but then I do like to live in a dream world  :laugh:

Thanks again.

just had a thought... the R32 rear spoiler has cut outs for different exhaust configurations - wondering if it would be worth getting the bumper and finding a bottom trim that would leave the cut out for the existing normal GTI pipes - then in 6-12 months I can replace the normal exhaust with a full turbo back Milltek with R32 pipes and just change the bottom trim.... hmmm, now... anyone know of a place that sells a trim for the R32 rear for normal GTi pipes... OSIR maybe?  I am off for a look!
