Do it.

You can always sell it on further down the line, there's always going to be a market for that kind of stuff.

I'd code the sides and rear valance too, see how in this picture the natural line across the bottom of the car doesn't flow and makes the bumper actually look bigger. If someone could 'chop this and colour them in, you'll see what I mean.

^^^^
VWR's R300 has been colour coded etc since I last drove her in this pic.

She's a demo car and constantly a work-in-progress.

Yipes! That's a lot of pennies!
I figure I can always ship one in from VWoA if I need to but I think I'll hit VWR first. Won't be done for awhile anyway as I just blew a load of cash on new computer bits and my Leica  :scared: then got to sort out the rear taillight on the car first! I have too many expensive hobbies!

It'll have red piping and a GTI badge and a black centre "shield", fear not.

You could buy Awesome's old Oettinger kit off them, subtle but nice. They're putting that MKV back to standard and flogging its guts.

Nah. didn't like the mesh on the Oettinger. Also the fitment in the pic looks quite bad.

Thing is, if I get a Thunderbunny front end, I'd also have to change the upper slat things to honeycomb. Hmn...
Any photoshop wizards want to paint one blue?

cmdrfire is right - The Awesome's oettinger grill mesh is awful. The Thunderbunny is much better quality.
