Must say that looks better than the red one I saw but I'm still not convinced.

I think the problem with red is that the lenses are red so the whole
back end is red with no contrast at all. I am definitely leaving mine
as it is.

VW took a lot of criticism when the mkiv GTI came out saying it just
looked like any other Golf so this time they gave it its own identify
with the black front grill, black side skirts which matched in
with the rear valence. Now that people are colour coding them I
think they are removing that identity and just making the car look like
any other golf.

Don't get me wrong Steve I think your car looks superb, I just think it
has lost a bit of the GTI sporty look that VW intended.
