Great build and I really love that clubsport spoiler! I'm torn on whether or not I should get it. The golf hatch is so boring, but im not sure how much I'm into that aggressive curve. Still a beautiful spoiler, don't get be wrong.
I hear ya, it does look aggressive in many angles, but overall I don't find it too aggressive in any way - EXACTLY what I am after. There are other more subtle options for our golfs, at much more cost-effective prices such as the OEM VW accessories spoiler, or do what I did earlier with the spoiler fins which is subtle yet clean and effective.
I really like what you said about your decision on a golf over a GTI. Now I'll add my input: I chose the golf over the GTI simply because the price gap was too much for me to stomach at the time, but I still want my golf to stand out so other owners know I'm part of the club
. Not to mention the difference in insurance based on the fact that I'm a male in my early 20's. The difference in quotes was astonishing to me. Id be scrapping by to make rent and I think I'd ultimately be regretting the decision.
Definitely good to consider all aspects - initial cost of entry for us as our second car was also a strong factor as an equivalent GTI in terms of equipment and technology was over $10K more at the time! Fortunately for us here our licensing penalties for age aren't as apparent, but definitely a strong consideration for many.
I truly do wish I had a GTI because I so badly want that sport aspect, but personally it's just not feasible where I'm at currently. All my parts are second hand and budget so I still haven't come close to what a GTI would have cost me. I love my car and I'm very much an enthusiast so I'm going to show it.
Keep moving forward, you can essentially build your car to accomplish much of what a GTI can (unless we are talking big tunes, then that's a different story. Enjoy your car and make it your own! I get more love from the community for this little golf than I do for my R that is sitting in my garage haha!
I have Euro LED's (mk7) I got for super cheap, sitting at home and Im hesitant to put them on because I care too much about what people think :/ Really petty, but I hate the idea of being a poser.
Firstly, don't worry about what anyone thinks (I know easier said than done), but in reality those tails were spec on many golfs in many different regions. They were the original tails designed for the golf, rock 'em!
