Do I smooth the GTI?

Cheers Craig

Its hard to imagine it. I want the line where the rub strip to stay so you get sort of that angled slant - similar to what haris has on his

Keeps it OEM looking then as the line will follow all round the car from the rub strips on the doors right round the bumpers

I cant decide, they both look good, the only thing I dislike is the smoothed version looks stunning but feels like its messing some features. Its good but disappoint, abit like getting a girl, her striping naked and having nothing!

Whilst the standard looks nice. But has become bit dull over time... So I can't choose...

What the hell get it smoothed you can always sell and get an un-smoothed one if you change your mind

I reckon smoothing looks the nuts, but personally putting the front number plate back in its place actually looks the best imo..keeps it kind of oem looking

i say no beacause this is what every one seems to be doin with the polo it will be 1 of a kind if you leave it standard and change other bits instead of smoothing it

I just found it a rather strange comparison that didn't make much sense .. made me chuckle anyway
