I think it looks OK, are you thinking of doing the whole car? For me it just looks a bit odd with only the tailgate done, if it was just on the roof it would probably look good, but the whole car would look better.

i agree and will be doing a full wrap on the car soon but i can't decide what colour to go for??? I love matt and satin finishes so something along those lines

I look forward to seeing what you go for in the end, or the matt black with red flake on the whole car. I suppose the good thing about wrap is if you don't like it it's easily removed.

No worries, i made the mistake of thinking this was a modified cars forum when its not.

There is some mod talk here, but I'd estimate that less than 25% of the members here are interested in performance or aesthetic mods on their cars while they are still within warranty.

I'd be keen on a remap or tuning box once the warranty runs out, but VW do all they can to duck out of warranty obligations whenever they can and engine remaps and boxes are very detectable these days by the manufacturers - VW reliability is distinctly average these days too! Also, the majority of members here are in the UK where most insurers don't like you modding your car without a hefty premium increase, even if it's purely aesthetic.

Not today but it's my first day here

Get rid off the yellow fog lights, they look really bad with the led headlamps...

Maybe do the same to mine.

I bought in that same store but in led had to return, because in our car give error.
You can follow if you didn't do, this post the experience I had.

Are you from the North?

Yes I am, from Porto.
I also thought of LED but I already knew that would give errors. I've at home some load resistors used on my last car but I avoid messing around the car wiring.
This bulbs aren't road legal but I don't think that will be a problem since they have the same color of the headlights.
