Well as the title

Do I smooth it or not?

Its going in for a full respray in a few weeks time, and im contemplating getting it smoothed at the same time

So what do you all think?

Its a Red 3-Door for those who dont know :P

Cheers

Yehhh do it!!

Just get the front and rear bumpers though I'd say. Unless you wanna go flat out Euro Styling 8)

I think the GTI really suits smoothed bumpers, it gives it a more modern and sporty look imo. Still looks good as standard though, just down to taste

No. I'm not a fan. Maybe consider smoothing the front numberplate recess on the front bumpstrip, I think that H84TYG guy had it done, and it looks nice.

It's something different :P

Im in two minds. That PS looks so smooth and it makes me want to do it, but part of me wants OEMness

The paintwork is buggered - read my Bring On The GTI! thread and its all in there

For some reason i like the smooth look, suits a red polo better than any other colour i think.

Yes. It looks a hell of a lot better.

Not for me thanks.

Smoothing it loses the definition of the front end in my opinion, not a fan.
