I think Al is on to something there. How about getting some fogs in there?

i think the infills in black do look better but in 'real life' they might not look the same :lol: and some fog lights would look ace in there if you could find some to fit :? but if not i prefer them blank than painted black :D

That bumper is quite similar but not the same :?

Grille looks quite good, maybe a bit on the 'mk5 smiley' side for me though :lol:

I've measured up a Mk6 grille and its not really feasable, so I reckon its going to be a late Mk4 one, when I can find a cheap one :lol:

Thanks for the comments so far :D :D

i dont like how it's cut for the towing eye :? is yours uncut kev :?: might aswell leave it like that as its an auto :lol:
but if it was mine i'd drill a hole and get one of the screw in types and somehow mount a thread on the old tow eye mount points :idea: then you could also get a white gromet to fill the hole when not in use :idea:
also i dont think those fog lights look as good as they would if they were flush fitting :)

i quite like the grill tho 8)
