GTI Owners (NON ED30) L@@K Here!
« on: April 16, 2009, 06:32:08 pm »
Right, so today I had an idea. It may not be a good idea, but I will say it nonetheless!

First and foremost - 182blue...I hope you don't mind me using your photo as an example  :smiley: :smiley:



Where it has 'Edition 30' in red lettering on the trim plate inside the car, I really really like this touch. I think it was as good idea to have it in the Edition 30 as another way of differentiating it from the normal GTI.

However, I think it would look great if the normal GTI's had something similar!

I'm thinking something simple, just in the traditional GTI font, in red lettering.... 'GTI'.

What does everyone think? Maybe if enough people are interested then we could contact some companies that could make them up?  (I don't have a clue who could do it, but I'm sure someone on here would be able to help! Maybe the company used for the Edition 30 build number sticker as pictured in 182blues photo there...?)

 :smiley: :smiley:

Sure, but you best reserve final judgement until you see and feel mine when they're done.

The carbon vinyl I saw today had texture! And slight waviness like real carbonfibre has. It's a new material and mine will be the first use of it in the UK.

Er, we seem to have hijacked this thread - Sorry, Chris. I'm gonna post elsewhere on this subject.
