I kind of like it and don't like it at the same time

thats pretty tacky, its not even gonna be chrome id wager, just some funky plastic covered in chrome film.

My first impression of that car is that its of a questionable quality: "L E D Rear Lights & L E D Side Lights" seems also a bit tacky.

Id move along to the next example.

"Chrome effect" just looks wrong on it. It's not a Rover for god's sake!

The LED rear lights aren't too bad though really.

nah im not feelin the chrome, the rear lights aren't too bad though i guess...even though i prefer the standard red

i'm normally yay all the way but doesn't go right on that for some reason, can't even put my finger on why

The chrome looks s**t IMHO but would be more at home on a silver car. Its too "bling" on the black bodywork!

The rear lights are quite nice, I nearly bought some the same off eBay but the idea of tacking those reflectors on with them puts me off somewhat, although they only need to be on for the MOT technically don't they?

The K&N... just no

Bit scary that the Isle of Man doesn't have an MOT (or equivalent) annual roadworthiness test!

Also the isle of man doesnt have a speed limit so I think you can pretty much gurantee the little gti has seen the redline everyday

I think do you own thing...otherwise we would be driving all the same cars! ha ha ha although I think the chrome is better left on luxury cars like the Audis as they can pull it off with ease...

One of the reasons I want to move there!
