Don't really like the idea of dark wheels, badges or the lights I'm afraid.

but its rare for any car other than a BM to look good with angel eyes.

...I don't think beemers look good with them though.

Yack - see how nasty that badge looks?

Unbeliever · 5 Mar 2007 at 23:21

I like the lights but dont get black badges, they'll look nasty.

havnt had it done yet thats a photoshop.

Im estimating around £80 per wheel, im just waiting on a reply from a few local companies.

I like it

Smoke the rear lights too if you want everything to be darkish?

Confused · 6 Mar 2007 at 09:48

The dark VW badge will only look OK if it's on the blue.

Other than that, I like

I'm going for a fully black and white theme on my Prelude on the outside

I don`t think ANY cars look good with them.
To the OP do whatever you want and ignore snidy beemer drivers blurbs.

found a picture of some real powder coated aristos.

Thats just about settled it for me.

Booner! · 6 Mar 2007 at 11:27

Waynor mate, I like those wheels with powder coat!

Im a fellow Golf Mk4 owner (Currently doing small mods too)

I would avoid the halo's on the front to be honest. Other than that it will look Sweet!

You cant get an R32 in a better combination of colours imo! Dream car! I would leave the rear lights alone too. But its your car

Ever thought about some smoked side reflectors/indicators?

Wayn0r · 6 Mar 2007 at 11:38

if you look at the blue r32 i posted a pic of, with the black halos and the seat lip spoiler? i think that has smoked side lights so yea ill probably get some of those. I think ill leave the lighs and just 'joeys' mod these if its not too difficult.

Still awaiting a quote on powder coating.

Angel eyes that are not factory fitted are on the same level as neons and lexus lights if you ask me. The rest of the mods look fine though!

i think i shoulda explained a little better, its not the angel eye part that i want, its the black inside bit...

Booner! · 6 Mar 2007 at 12:54

thats the bit i dont like ! By all means get halo's , but the black makes it looks cheap/boy racer IMO

For instance a neighbour has a "boyed out" golf mk.4, 1.4 which looks identical to that photo you provided and just looks like a big fake R32.

Whereas you have a real one and making it look fake

The rest of the mods looks great though

Bunka · 6 Mar 2007 at 12:55

Do eveything, it all looks hawt. :cool:

TripleT · 6 Mar 2007 at 12:58

There's a guild on the GTi6 site which you can convert standard lights to look black. I dunno whether it's transferable to the Golfs but it might be worth a look

See here

Wayn0r · 6 Mar 2007 at 13:08

thinking about it, i like my xenons. i think ill leave that.

So im doing all except the lights and the badges.

gotta start saving now for a bit more POWAH.
