Well as the title
Do I smooth it or not?
Its going in for a full respray in a few weeks time, and im contemplating getting it smoothed at the same time
So what do you all think?
Its a Red 3-Door for those who dont know
Cheers

Yehhh do it!!
Just get the front and rear bumpers though I'd say. Unless you wanna go flat out Euro Styling

I think the GTI really suits smoothed bumpers, it gives it a more modern and sporty look imo. Still looks good as standard though, just down to taste

No. I'm not a fan. Maybe consider smoothing the front numberplate recess on the front bumpstrip, I think that H84TYG guy had it done, and it looks nice.
It's something different

Im in two minds. That PS looks so smooth and it makes me want to do it, but part of me wants OEMness
The paintwork is buggered - read my Bring On The GTI! thread and its all in there

For some reason i like the smooth look, suits a red polo better than any other colour i think.

Yes. It looks a hell of a lot better.

Not for me thanks.
Smoothing it loses the definition of the front end in my opinion, not a fan.

Heres a pic to ease your pain Alex. Get it done. Best mod you can do for the polo bar lowering them
