i think they'd look good in anthracite, but not any better than they do ball-polished like they are.

go for whatever's cheaper. and get yourself one of the later GT bumpers with the rest of the money. i think it would make your car look 100% spot on :happy2:

luminous orange would look good, your right about keeping the bumper on. Almost everyone has upgraded to the later spec one

I would keep the same finish. It looks much better IMO. I still think anthracite can sometimes just look like a dirty grey/black. Depends on the alloy and exact finish though.

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

Ball polished suits the black paint better than anthracite imho.  Shadow chrome might look okay if you want a painted finish.  Like the idea of orange.  :pomppomp:
