Looks much better and cleans off the front, personally i'm not a fan of tints on cars like hothatches because I think they look tacky but could look ok on that colour.

Colour coded door handles will look great and I think you should lower the rear just slightly more.

Tim! I've taken your advice, keeping the 8v Bumper on and smoothing the plate recess! :D

Good man, thinking outside the box.

It's not jsut an original idea thing for me, I generally think it looks tones better than the 16v!!

The more my Dub progresses the more i like the 8v bumper. Lower it a bit more on the rear, Wheel spacers, 6n2 rear lights. Maybe a badgeless grill. Colour coded handels. Nice and simple polo. :D

Plans all sound great! consider glossing the handles black though? along with the mirrors and B pillars? Just a thought.

VR6 is stupidly big, cupra doesnt really compliment the smooth look, GTi is the way forward 8)
