    You need to upload the photos to a storage site like www.photobucket.com then you post the img link...

    Looks complicated at first but youll get the hang of it.

    Welcome to the forums! now create a photobucket account and post some pics of your GTI!

    Nice... love the body kit and the wheels. The front end is a bit busy for my tastes!

    Ya, thinking of dropping the fog lights and wishing I could lose the front plate but RI requires it and I don't need to give the cops an extra reason to meet me!

    Ok so the general thought is shave some meat off the face... I pull the plates off, the only worry I have is
    what is left for holes in the bumper from the euro plate, but well see.

    Ott, in the console was a 7" video screen, the radio and DSP. Power window switches just below. I already
    pulled the screen out, did not like it there, too busy again. There is a fine line sometimes between cool and
    what the hell were you thinking! Fortunately, most of my mods are reversable!

    nice stance, love these wheels with the kit. Amazing car, clear corners aren't usually my taste but on this they look perfect.

    I'm glad you changed it.... it was hideous.

    You've owned this car a loooong time. I think I saw it at Waterfest 2.

    pulled off plates and fogs. looks much cleaner. I will get pics up tomorrow night. Trying to figure out what to
    do about the holes from the plate... they are small so I might try just a dab of black sikaflex or RTV and see.
    unless somebody knows a better solution?

    So here is the bunny with the plates and fogs off, well see if the cops let me keep the front plate off. Also threw on the GTI side stripes. Let me know what you think It was getting dark fast so the pics are not great sorry ....

    sounds like a plan. I was thinking of getting one of the dealer plate holders, the kind that are envelopes with straps that you close the trunk on, for the back one so I wouldnt have to drill into my rear euro plate. But we will see... the caddy needs love too!
