My car is Black Pearl, I've changed the front and rear emblems to Black, took the 'GTI' letters off the back and hopefully this weekend I'm taking off the side blade badges and will probably tape the red stripe. I did get a front GTI badge in red for the grill. I just think the car will look better just the black with the red emblem and calipers. I may repaint the blades black with GTI in red, thinking about it for now.
Thanks for all the info.
