my new red GTi

good on ya for keepin it, can't wait to see the arch kit finished :D

out of interest, how did you get the rota centre caps to fit? mine don't! :confused:

tbh they look diff to mine anyway, my fronts won't fit at all cos of threaded bit being too long out of hub, oh well..

gona do the other side this weekend then get it some stuff ready for stripping it out...
 
Nice job there, but I`m not a fan tbh.

I like the idea, don`t get me wrong, it just doesn`t look quite right imho. :O

If I may make a suggestion?

If you filled in the screw holes (or just painted the screws red) & smoothed it to the rear panel & bumper, then extended it to the skirt & splitter, it`d look right, but atm, with the gaps to the standard kit, it looks too much like the red chavvy-kitted corsa that I pass every morning on the way to work! :(

Nice effort though, but with abit of tweaking, it`d look spot on imo. :)

Of course it`s your car, & your tastes are your own, but abit of `constructive critisism` never hurt anyone. :)
 
see all the stuff your saying about smoothing and extending sounds chav to me... there functional there only there to cover the repairs.. adding filler fibregalss ect is weight thats just not needed.. trust me they will fit with the car once it gets close to finished lol i love having the screws visible... also means i can take the rear bumper off without messing about ect...

not having a go or anything there gona be a love it or hate it thing :D
 
No probs! :)

I see your point, but the HUGE gap between the arch & skirt is just crying out to be filled with summat.

That`s the only thing I really don`t like about it though. :)
 
Looks good I reckon :) With the screws it gives it that classic racing car feel, back when that's how panels were held together :D
 
other side is on now :D and iv undersealed the arche that was bad :D
