Looks schweet! Colour coding, and led rears make a big difference. Prefer the Pescy's over the Monzas too!
A wee bit lower would look tidy :innocent:
I think the majority of us on here at that stage with the wifes!!

Thanks for all the positive comments chaps! 

Now, is lowering it classed as a 'cosmetic' or 'performance' mod?  Hmmmm....

Depends how low you go  :grin:
Must say im very impressed how your mk5 looks its how i always wished mine had looked.
Only thing looks wise i would do if it was mine would be tint the DRLs as they look very light in comparison to the front lights.
Ex mk5 GTI owner, moved to a mk6 in 2010.

I count my drop as cosmetic as it's 15-20mm. You could argue it either way though

Cheers Snoopy!  Your kind words are appreciated.  The DRLs do come in a 'smoked' version as opposed to my clear ones.  At one point, I did buy some InPro smoked wing-mirror indicators but decided against fitting them as I like the way the rear LEDs, the OEM indicators and my DRLs all seem to tie in together and stand out. 

Makes a change from the 'stealth-look' black GTIs! :signLOL: (I like them all really!)

Great job! The latest mods (ED30 spoilers, taillights, DRL's) are all great!
Cheers!  :drinking:

P.S. You have to change the photos in the signature.

'Tis done.  :happy2:

Having finally given it a good clean and polish, I thought it would be rude not to make the most of today's sunshine..
