Modding front of R32?

Can anyone tell me if there are any companies selling products to make the front of the R32 a little less Jetta and a bit more aggressive?

Or have any of you got pics?

Thanks

I know what you mean, less like the Jetta and Passat too and more like a Golf. This is what I have done with Avery 900 signage paper (thanks to Alex our blackout king), blade and hairdryer. Dirt cheap and effective for now without replacing the whole front. Took me about an hour.

Do you have side on pics of your R32?

Hi Backseatdriver.

I honestly think that that is an improvment and it looks good.

It isn't a huge change though.

Looks like you have taken your time and done a good job but I don't think I could be happy with it always knowing that there was some signage vynil on the front instead of a proper paint job.

Thanks for the reply.

Gareth, when we have a moment, you should have a look at it in the flesh. It looks and feels no difference from the rest of the black grill in the front skirt. Denlo couldn't pick it as my mod. Their sales consultants saw it and asked me where in Europe did I import the grill bits. If you like a complete change, there are heaps of after market options available. Cheers Donald

It looks a bit more like a Golf GT now ... Personally I love the brushed silver look ;)

Should have gotten it in blue Donald hehe! :thumbup:

Just kidding. Like I said in that thread you put up after blackening the grille, I personally think it gives your .:R a bit more character + meaner looking (in a good way).

All reflex silver MKV R32s to me are SILVER BULLETS!

:flame: (Donald blackening his grille - not with signage paper hehe)

:w00t: (End product - happy with results)

:burnrubber: (Equals more fun on the road)

No problem Gareth, done. Let's catch up at one of the gtgs, I'm sure the lads would love to see you there. I would also like to sit mine next to a RS with the Zolders! Cheers Donald
