Is it Euro or OEM+?

Well went into tesco this morning to get some petrol while I was filling up I notice a sweet Mk3 VR6 coming to fill up aswell I recognise the car from the edition 38 forum. Well being a fellow dubber went up to the guy and started chatting about his car. Then the guy asked me about my dub, I point toward my little polo while he was walking around it he said that the car looks very Euro, I replied and thought it looked more OEM+ to me.

He said why do you think it looks OEM+ for? I replied saying it couldnâ€™t been euro because I havenâ€™t smooth the bodywork i.e. bumpers, sides strips and flared the arches, his words were you donâ€™t have to smooth the bodywork to looks euro. Well after couple of minutes explaining why he thought it was euro. At this point I was abit confused with the Euro and OEM+. Well look at my watch and realised I was running late for work so said the goodbyes.

Well I started a poll so member can give me feedback because I still confused regarding the Euro and OEM+ also added a couple and pictures to help with the poll.

OEM+ is more the look I'm going for, keeping it looking original(ish) but better than VW did it.

I suppose yours could be classed more as Euro because of the wheels.

Not really sure on the actual differences betweem the two though.

Oh and what are those stickers you've got on your rear windows?

hmm id class it as OEM+ because

a) lowered to a nice amount, not decked, but enough to give a nice stance
b) simple touches (dewipered, black badges etc)

although the wheels do add a euro touch to it. imagine you took the wheels off and replaced them with bbs rx2's. (orignal polo gti ones)... it would instantly be OEM+, however with these wheels, i can understand why some ppl would clasify it as euro.

Yes
No

comedy at its best

i'd say the car is oem, however you have a aftermarket wheel on it which takes it away from being totally oem.

Id say it was pointing towards euro as everyone has said because of the wheels. OEM+ is original uprated in my eyes

Lol at the polo
