Golf gti wide body project From a new member

[tonioseven]

coming along very well!!

[dread_darven]

There is one problem i bumped into trying to fit the bumper.
This piece:

Is it a good thing to cut it away or leave it there.
Cause when i cut it away the bumper is also going to be extended like this.

What do you guys (especialy those who have built this model already) think i should do to give it a good look on the front?

[Orion37170]

I would fix the bumper on the body before chassis assembly and cut the chassis that you can insert it

[GT-Alex]

Cut the part off IMO.

You could sand it more to fit or you could cut it off, its your choise

Btw: Thats awesome work!!

Finaly i made some progress that gives this car a real rieger look .
As i sayd, i would make the sideskirts next so i did that.
Along the way of making them i realised that the bottem of the panels are to rounded in comparison with the Rieger gto.
So i redid those again with a wider look on the lower part and it looks great IMO




I tweaked the front fenders a little so they look more accurate



The pictures of a Corrado Gto in a german tuning magazine i was talking about are a super reference in making this bodykit.
So i would like to share them with you as eye candy, or if someone else is thinking about also making a widebody golf.







I'm open to suggestions, so

OK, its B-E-A- uuuutiful , umm about ur front bumer i have a suggestions wut if you glue it to the body, and then putty it up by the wheel whell and blend it with ur fender and then ad a small gill each side and then make up a grill for it , cut out a space in the fender and make a billit grill for it and do the same thing between ur lights as well it would take the stock look out of the face of the car and make it look coller and more custom, but its ur car do wut u like, i like it so far its comin together greati like ur shapin skills with the file on the putty. keep up the great work .

i mean cut a space in the bumper not fender lol sorry about the bad grammer i'm tired as all hell

[vwman]

That looks very great!!

[GT-Alex]

The sideskirts looks great !

looking good. I really should have done a widebody on mine, seeing as it would fit the twin engine theme. Oh well, there's always next time I guess.

[mike@af]

That's exactly how i was planning to do it thanks, but i'm not entirely sure about the grill tho.
It does indeed need a grill like thing on the sides of the bumper but i don't have any clue about how to make it . Does any one have a suggestion about the grill? .

You could also give a Rad ride hot-rod kinda style to the golf
I am thinking of doing this in a future project but that style will fit perfectly with your Golf IMO
