Project Black and Red

Post by linkun599 » Sun Jan 24, 2016 10:13 am

Hi Everyone,

Just joined the forum so please be gentle :biggrin3:

Just thought i'd start a thread and get some pics posted of my pride and joy.

Had it for around 6 months and it came completely standard but didn't stay that way for long :biggrin3:

I appreciate it isn't to everyone's taste but I love it, anyway enjoy

Welcome to the forum.
FON.
I can't say I don't like it cause all my cars pics when I was younger were black with red parts. I think the seats possibly make it a little too much, but if you like it that's all that matters.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Thank you for the welcome :thumbs:

I appreciate your comments it is a little bit TOO much for some.

I think the black and red interior compliments the exterior.

The thing that offends me the most is the number plate arrangement.
It's not an Evo and it don't have a front mount charge cooler. It's the one thing that retarderises my brain.
No matter where you go, there you are.

It's bold but I quite like it. I wouldn't have it on my car but it looks a mile better than the photo of i standard in the other thread.

Thanks for the comments, it definitely isn't to a lot of people's taste but if we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place :)

Thanks for the comments guys.

I definitely agree with you on that.

It was possibly a bit over the top before, however now I think it looks perfect. Different but not over the top.

It's amazing how much difference few little things makes, I think it looks so much more aggressive now :twisted:
