Lookin' good. How do you feel about a debaged grille? I had the oem blacked out with the emblem still chrome but I just recently swapped it to a black badgeless grille. It would give a clean look with your dipped front bumper.

The roof would be a good touch. If you do more, then do both hood and trunk and follow the lines for the hood from the sides of the windshield to your grille. Don't do the whole hood.
I have been contemplating inside the hood lines. Wanna get the roof done first. Trunk is out of the question though. :)
I dont see the need to have the badgeless grille. I kinda like the blacked out VW logo like that. :thumbup:

How did you fill in the license plate holes?
JB Quik Weld. Pretty easy job. I had to do two applications...The first to get a base layer then a second to fill in smooth. A little sanding after that makes a nice clean appearance. Probably looks like crap without the dip on there, but the dip is on there sooo....

You also may have noticed my roof is now black. Couple cans of plastidip took care of that. Turned out decent.
