I don't mind the silver grille, stands out from the other Golfs.. although i know what you mean, not as tough as black but is a bit more classy. I also don't want to devalue the car by making it look too different from stock and not going to get any carbon bits as they dont stand out on DBP (look good on red or white however).

I'm happy with the colour of the rest of the car as is. However yeah the wheels do need some of the black.

I love the MK4 wheels and wouldn't be getting rid of them in a hurry and probably wouldn't paint them either.. maybe another set of black wheels would be good to tie all the black bits together.

Did you do the black out yourself? The gloss finish looks nice..

Yeah that's why for every modification I've done, I've never sold off the stock parts. I can put the car back to completely stock. The only things I'd have to buy would be the splash guard with the stock lip, the original splash guard mounts that aren't modified for the skid plate and some oneshot bolts used on the suspension etc. For this round of mods I bought new badges, grill and mirror housings.

Yeah I love them too. I'm going to see how much it will cost to respray them black. They have a fair bit of pitting on them anyway from lack of cleaning before I got the car general nicks and blemishes that need to be cleaned up anyway.

I got the painting done by AMS Motorcycle Spraypainting and Decals at Moss St. A guy at work had his bike resprayed to a matte black and the quality of work is top notch. They had a look at my front bar too and will be fixing up the colour matching as well (probably next year though).

Very nice, subtle but effective.

I might make a thread in the photography section with only a few of them for the moment everything just get's dumped here.

still with the opinion that black rims would complete it, which sux cos the stock wheels are v.nice. maybe blackened indicators..? or they not legal...

You can't tell in the pictures but I've got smoked indicators in there now.

You know that I've only recently understood your plates.

Ever since the Lions Run that day back in July, I haven't understood them.

Now I do.

Wasn't too keen on it earlier, but those pics make it look much better. Black wheels would look cool but either way it looks hot!

**RolfGolf** · 28-09-2009, 10:48 AM

Those new pics give a much better indication of how it looks now - must say I like it a lot - I think the R32 badge would really pop if it was left in chrome on that black background - though the stealth thing works for me too.

Would be nice to see some pics in the sunshine - also it would help me to remember what sunshine is as it's been pretty dismal here over the last couple of days.
