I'm sure you know what the connotations of the iron cross are?

It's also a big thing with custom choppers, sparked by Jesse James and West Coast Choppers.

They're pretty cool, I had a set of iron cross valve caps, they were cool for a while, but I soon got bored of them. Think hard and long before putting stickers on your car. Personally, I don't think the Iron Cross would suit your GTI, maybe on an old beetle, but not on a 6/7-year old car

i like the tee shirts and the whole biking end of things, my mates dad owns a custom chopper company and its in there logo. I just hate it when you see retro dubs with a massive one on the bonnet
