Gti Bonnet and Grill stripe colour advice.

[nezquick]

Iv recently fancied doing a cheapish mod to the exterior and sort out a stripe down the bonnet and do the grille like this:



I have a black magic mk5 gti, what colour would you recommend? I've thought about grey (is it carbon grey? the one we have for our mk5's) and white but can't find a image which could give me an idea of whether it would work or not. I was thinking with the white I would do a thin red strip along the border to match the badge'd grill with the red line stripe. Ideas?

Images would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Don't do it Nez!!

I don't think it would look right on your car, you would have to have a bright green or orange vinyl and it will end up looking a bit chavy.  All imo though.

  Yeah I don't wanna do bright colours.. what about a grey grill badge like this but reverse.

What about making the grill surround gloss red instead of gloss black, then the gti strip black instead of red so it stands out?

I know this is a MK6 but this should give you a better idea of the matt black.

That's a mk5 with a bunny kit on it, not a mk6
