The top picture isn't actually mine, I just found it on google. Also the wheels aren't exactly the ones I want, they were just at the right angle.

New alloys and the badge dissapeared. Why. Just why.

Same. Get it re-sprayed too.

is this real or just photoshopped?
too many aspects of it are identical to believe you took a picture at the exact same angle, in the exact same light. and there's some dodgy bits on the radiator.

I've done a better chop.

This is exactly how I want it, and nothing else (except some OEM interior parts)

I don't want to jazz it up with bodykits and exhausts etc, I want to steer clear of the 'boy racer' image.

Removing the badges got you just that.

I replaced the grille as there was a huge crack on the right where the car infront kicked up a stone, it was cheaper to buy a badgeless grille and I don't think it looks to boy-racer ish tbh.

I agree, the top image doesn't look brilliant but the second image, I like. I don't think it's particularly "girly" but everyone likes different things I suppose.

Get a 3/4 numberplate if you're actually having it like that, it'll make it look a lot better.

When somebody was driving the Jetta they hit a rock and put a HUGE gash in the silver part of the front. The peice from VW was like $300, but they had one with like a little scratch and he sold it to me for $20. So try and get a grille with a badge from there!

I agree, not everyone will like my taste, but I wanted to be different but not become a boy racer with stupidly oversized exhausts and bodykits, I wanted subtle mods like the wheels and tints. I've also got a couple of performance mods, a strut brace and an air filter.
