I was thinking about doing this mod myself but having seen it on yours I won't be doing anymore.

I think it works on the MK7 as it has a long crease running down the side of the car and the badge is a continuation of that crease on the wing. There aren't any creases down the side of the MK5 which is why I think it looks a bit odd.

Just my 2 pence  :happy2:

I have a friend who made this mod on this mk6 GTI and ended up taking the badges off. I don't like them on our GTI. :smiley:

Yeah that was my concern really, it doesn't follow that shape of the car its just something shiny stuck to the side of it. I just wanted something to break up all the grey now the wheels are a similar colour to the body I feel that there's too much grey/black and not enough colour on it.

I'm getting a bit pissed off because one minute I like the way it looks now and the next minute I think it looks  :sick:.

Thanks for your comments and input guys  :happy2:, I think 12 no's to 3 yes's is pretty conclusive. I'm still not sure about the wheels tbh, I go back and forward every day it seems. So they might be up for sale soon....

No I absolutely love the wheels and I think with the brakes behind them they're awesome but as a whole package they just don't sit right on the car for me, its hard to explain but its just not what I thought it would be.

Wouldn't mind the 19" Monza's from the W12 650 concept car, or some 991 Porsche Carerra/ turbo wheels. At the moment I'm very interested in the new GTI clubsport/ ED40 or whatever they're calling it, I'm going to try and find out more about the release date and price this weekend.

Thanks mate, they retail at £1320 + delivery but I got them for about £1250 all in (new from demon tweeks).

For now I think it's the GTI Clubsport. It looks awesome! Should be quite tunable too! :evilgrin:



It's not easy to say this but if I had the chance/budget I would consider one for me as well. I love my mk5 Eddie though. :laugh:
