A lot more into this car then meets the eye. Rear boser for the tail lights, sleepy boser upfront, I believe he shaved the engine bay. Very nice example of a cabrio.

Nice to see a fellow enthusiast that feels the need to insult people.
That's just what the forum needs. Your a great addition.

All this kinda reminds me of a song...
"Black Jetta" by a band called I'm A Robot.

It's almost dechromed, I still have the headlights to go.

I love the blue ride. I am an old vortex member and X-A3 body jetta owner (kamei / golf set-up and other goodies) as well and current pepper white s owner.
I think we are in the same realm of "taste"
Cept my MINI doesn't have stripes and is all white!

Yah....i'm a little confused too. I have talked to both of you at different times about the euro style, and you both seem to be on the same page and have the same taste??

MINIs and GTIs can play nice. Here's a pic of my driveway (albeit about 8 months and a couple mods ago), my '02 MCS with the wife's '03 1.8T MkIV GTI. I'd love to do a Jetta front end swap on her car, but it's just a matter of time and $$. Great thread to see the similarities and differences between the two worlds.

Thanks! Long story short, their design was inspired by a tennis ball that had a slit cut into it, and looked like an angry face. Thought it would be a fun look to add to the front of the car.
I LOVE the Euro look on VW's, and I thought about how I could apply it to my MINI, but couldn't come up with a solution that suited me. Some have gone that route and they look well worth the time, effort and $$ put into them. I think I'll go a little Euro with the wife's VW, and go my own way the the MINI. Two hatches, two personalities in our driveway, but we both love our cars, and even trade back and forth on occasion.
