Has anyone got a pic of a gti front bumper with the fog light holes filled in?
Im after a Gti front bumper and am wondering what it would look like without the fogs?

Personally don't see the point as bumpers with no fogs are associated with lower end models and bumpers with fogs are the more expensive models. Making it look like a cheaper car seems a bit pointless.
Have them as air intakes, or do something else good with them smoothing them just seems a lot of work for it to look worse imo.

Rofl, I agree that it looks good, but I generally like having fog lights when it's foggy

I don't think so. Those in the know will easily be able to tell that thats a sports bumper, and with todays overcrowded OEM modding market, it would probably be considered more interesting than buying a bodykit and so forth. Not to mention the fabrication costs to fill the holes in well!

I respect the uniqueness and effort put into it, just think it's a lot of time and money to put into something with not much improvement.

The only 'improvement' is smoothed bodywork, which seems to be a growing craze in the scene at the moment. But yeah I agree there, its ultimately pointless - I like to be able to see when its foggy!

I know you are ben, interested to see how it turns out
To be fair I can't really say don't do it because it's pointless, most of the stuff I do is pointless 
It's not the smoothing I think is pointless, I love euro'd cars it's just that doing it on it's on doesn't look modified, or even euro. Just looks like it was OEM and a cheaper model.
If you were do smooth off the numberplate and make a big mouth grill however, then I would be thinking the opposite.
