I'm torn, I like it alot as it's smooth and visually widens the rear, yet don't like it as I think the badge and it's clever mechanism gives it an identity

Good work though, uncommon mod well executed  :happy2:

Props for doing that! I love to see work like that.

I love the idea and how you did it but I think it needs something to break up the boot.

On the whole... Great ;)

I imagine he has gone for the auto boot pop mod, before he went about carving his gti up, nice work  :happy2:

Aye - people who delock the boot have a (remote) boot popper.

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