Always drive with mine on. Police never pulled me for it. Been pulled for my HID headlights but not the fogs. A wouldn't worry about police like. All they would say was turn them off

I havent been pulled about my HID kit but i'd say its only a matter of time yet :L Tbh im not fussed on having the fogs on so i'll just leave it

Aye no point in buying fogs if ya not gana use them. Coz led fogs are useless in fog tbh. Well mine are

Its just red tape I bought from halfrauds, but only had it on afew weeks then when I washed the car it just came off. Iv just bought the Sel grill from ebay, my plan is to mask the grill and paint the silver trim red.. So it should last longer and not wash off lol. It does make the car look better like, im suprised the GTI didnt already come with the red bottom grill.

yeh it is a bit odd. doesn't even have the chrome strip !

Il let you know how I get on painting the bottom grill.

yeh please do mate. good luck !

Ok so I bought the Sel grill and my plan was to paint the silver trim.... Heres what iv done so far.


I masked the black plastic off ready to paint... Had a cheeky drink


I then started to spray the trim red, I had to do 2 or 3 coats tho


the finished result... What does everyone think?? Not a bad job if I say so myself lol

looks good !! does it match the red in the top grill ? how long you think the coat will last ?

Well the red spary on the Sel grill is slightly different to the red on the Gti grill but its not that much really... A blind man on a galloping horse wouldnt beable to notice the difference lol.
Il prob fit it next week now, coz iv been really busy plus its my birthday weekend
