right just got these back the other day and was quite a tough job to get them fitted back on. alot of force requires, lucikly i didnt hear any 'snaps'!
personally i am chuffed with the outcome, the pictures dont do it justice. and already i am seeing alot more heads turning as i drive which always makes you smile if people notice your car, because at the end of the day thats what you do it for!

before

after...

i know the bonnet gaop needs to be sorted. i'l do that when i get a bonnet respray as there is so many chips.
and also there is a scuff on the nearside of the bumper which needs touching up- wasnt noticeable till the blue trim went on

other than that i now love my car again!

i think i'l keep this and do somemore subtle mods on it.

opinions on it now? much appreciated

looks really smart!! never liked the cutesy image of the MKVI, but you've bucked the general look and it shows, looks really good, the only other i can think of that i like is dino's, and that race one with carbon fibre panels i keep seeing pics of on the forum *drools*

na arron i aint a fan of the votex kit anymore. i know you like chunky in your face stuff...i like it smooth and subtle.

all bump strips are staying. they break the car up abit. i might even paint them black to make them stand out more!

thanks for the positive comments.

Like the paint work but not sure on the blue bits between the fog lights and centre grill (if that makes sense)

red trim on the grill is coming off when i work out how to do it properly! dont wanna half arse the job and it will look bad.

the bits on the fogs i really like. catches peoples eyes as it look different to the votex kit, kinda joins it up so the bottom splitter isnt way out on its own

oh and i de smoked my rear lights today, leaving them looking like the GT style (smoked on the indicator)
