Why not take off the GTi badge from the rear, and fit a "Polo" badge instead

Then people will think it's the 1.2 60hp, and wonder why they can't keep up with it

Nice, except someone's stolen your rear doors. It does look so much better in white than black as well. I'll probably go white next time.

I swapped the aeriel for a shark fin, added a footrest cover so it matched the pedals. Other than that there's not much to do on a GTI imho.

black vw and gti badges front and rear (white inserts)
stubby aerial (65mm long one)
LED interior lighting
white headlight/side lights
pressed plates (legal ones)
led numberplate housing (not replacement bulbs, actual housing) about £25 but ALOT brighter than bulbs!!
window tints
gti dead pedal / footrest
gloss black golf r mfsw buttons
red stitching leather armrest cover
remove the sound actuator (get some real turbo and supercharger sound) just unplugs

VCDS tweaks (someone with the cable or buy a knockoff for £40 still works :lol:
XDS Set to Strong (2)
Braking Force Set To Strong (2)
Big Digital MPH Read Out In Main MFD Screen
Doors Lock At 15mph
Doors Unlock On Key Removal

could prob think of more but it would be a never ending list but there is a few to get you started!! :D
As they always say, a car is never finished :D

Nice car by the way, great colour too 8)
