FWIW, my initial reaction was that you need more red to make it work.  The JCW looked OK because of the roof and, to a lesser extent, the bonnet stripes.
The Golf only had the calipers and a slither of red around the grille as accents.   I think it needs more - perhaps on the wheels?
But - ETTO and all that.  I should admit that my car's only mod is a replacement bottle opener!

Thin yellow stripe on mirror housing will give that a nice touch :happy2:

needs more red and ideally up top somehow. I think it will be tricky to pull it off so I will go with no don't do it.  Maybe if the wing mirror was somehow edged in red and not the whole thing and maybe a thin line of red down the rubbing strip ?

Overall I think the lines of the golf don't lend themselves to it in the same way was the mini

Thanks to all for the answers. :drinking:

Yes, I also think that's poor in red to do it, but I'm excited by the look because I thought that look awful.

I will wait for more opinions  :happy2:

Don't like the look myself, too much red.  I would go for a more subtle styling such as what Mad_Pete mentioned above, some thinner stripes.

Don't like that, looks like you got them from a scrappy as the colour is different  :confused:.. if you know what I mean.

Like your thinking on this. As others have said it may work with more red touches here and there!  :wink:
