They Angel eyes look quite good to be fair I just think yours is lacking something at the front, maybe a GTI grill?
I know you want to be different because everybody goes for the same grill but I think with yours having Angel eyes it would set it off nicely

only the smooth bumper and a debadged grill are missing from the front...and yeah maybe the splitter as well

but no gti grill pls! everyone wearing the same shirt ... the gti grill looks boring imo

GTI grill makes a huge difference. Slats are good, but IMO, they work better when its debadged and the notch is filled in

exactly ... a debadged slats grill, obviously with the notch filled is the best option imo

Yeah both work well I cant argue with that, different grill for a different look

hmmm i may go for that a slated debaged grill and get the notch filled. dont get me wrong i do like the gti grill but just everyone has it.
wheels are definatly next but il start to save for my smothed bumper, gti splitter and that debaged slat grill and bonnet fill (propper bonnet fill none of these silly push fir things lol), get them all put on together... possibly be done within a few months
il make my aim for it all to be done by feb !
cheers for the input guys.

Good fun fitting a GTI spoiler...you have to drill two holes and line them up absolutely perfectly in the tailgate, otherwise the splitter will not sit level or fit properly.
It isnt glued at all - let me put it that way.

Ideally it needs to be measured against an existing GTI with spoiler removed
You also need to ensure you have the special bolts thats go onto the spoiler threads so it pulls into the tailgate at the correct angle

can the bolts be bought from vw ?. im going to have to put faith in the company i use to do this as im not sourcing a gti tailgate for them.
