Wide, I like your car. I've seen several of your posts going back to when you added the current set of alloy wheels. They certainly added to the car's appearance. And, by posting the picture above ^, I assume you're looking for input regarding the red stripe.
The issue with the addition of any stripe along the side of the Mk7 Golf is there's no logical aesthetic endpoint. Perhaps if it were longer and tapered it would look better, but in my humble opinion, the current arrangement looks odd, unfinished.
You might want to consider running the stripe lower, immediately above the valance panel. That way the stripe would follow the upward taper at the rear of the back door and end there. Just a suggestion.

Agreed, don't think the red sits well on that grey in a place where it is so noticeable

I enjoyed your clip because I did much the same when I brought my car home -- crawling around in my garage! -- trying to see what worked and what looked out of place.. . . I agree about the red stripe . . .

Sweet! These are the wheels that I’m leaning towards. Looks like stock suspension? This is the same setup I’d be running for a while when I pull the trigger (at least till after warranty when I’ll mess with suspension) with same OEM rack and a fairing. Only difference is my GTI is black.

The 18x8.5s are 20lbs I believe, and the 18x8 are 19
