Westons' GTI - returning to standard
« on: February 15, 2011, 05:11:45 pm »
Right well I've been on here a while now and so it's about time I started one of these. Bought the car in April last year with leather, sat nav, highline, cruise control, dsg, mfsw, 18" RS4 reps etc. Since owning the car I've added Eibach springs, Valeo LED rear lights, Ultra headlights with angel eyes and drl's, open fog vents, a Forge Twintake, LED number plate lights and LEDs for all the internal lights. Here's a few photo's:

^^^^
I took my blue glass a step further by adding a graded blue sun strip:



Steel Grey was my second choice when I bought my GTI. Your Valeo's look totally OEM on your grey car. Beware the slippery slope though!

I'm well aware of the slippery slope  :party: I said from the start I'd leave it totally standard. Oh well, it's becoming how I want it to be. That blue strip looks good ^^^

....That blue strip looks even better from inside the car. Very natural and brightens up an English grey day and makes a blue sky even deeper blue.  :happy2:

Same colour as R32 and were originally meant for the Golf but weren't used in the end
