Looks absolutely tasty with that ride height.

Definitely got to do the same to my Ed30.

great pics, but feel your car needs colour coding.. Loose the Black plastics!

Great turnaround thus far  :happy2:

I agree with you there Scott,sometimes little is more,what you have done so far is tastefull as for colour coding mmm not sure of that i thought of it at first,on the grounds that it would make polishing easier, but as the wife has said it takes it away from the original gti look, yes the ed30 is colour coded but the black makes the gti stand out better imo.

Cheers, know what you mean.
I do like the colour coded look. But I quite like how the black textured bumpers tie together the black wheels etc.
I will colour code at some point but for now I can live without it.

That's what i think about my tornado red gti ,i get a lot of friends saying get the black bits colour coded but i love the look of the black wheels and trim on the red gti  !

Today I replaced my gloss black mirror housings with carbon fibre housings. Had these housings before and the figment is 100%.
