i like it, the rear shot is my favourite as it looks a bit like my old black Golf GTI with the deep dish type rims 8)

Very nice. I like the smooth bumpers. Where did you get the side skirts? Are they from a new GTI?

awas goiny pm you an say try the standard ones first just incase!! just use grey scotch brite pad think you might get it in halfords?? then good clean with thiners! get what ever colour u pick spray can would be fine and just give it a wee coat! you can allways go over it again if it aint dark enough!! then when the colour is fine just get a can of clear laquer an put two coats on them!! pretty easy
