Thanks for the feedback

okay okay i will not go for the lowrider look , as it indeed does look silly with this bodykit.
The wheel wells where mainly dremeled out to get a more accurate look. The benefit of this is that the wheels can go deeper in the body but it was not the original intention for this.

But as for the masklip vwman proposed; the hood extension is already there and it does look beter than such a mask lip IMO. I have seen this mask lip to many times on Golf's and Corrado's. It looks good but it is not very original. As for a hood extension however, that you don't see that much cause it is more expensive in real life .

Thanks m8.
For the identical golf;
well i am building the exact one as we speak, i am actualy making 4 of them j/k hehe. It is indeed the reflection. The pictures are taken in the kitchen on a induction glass cooking plate, it has a mirror on the wall behind it . Cause i think it is the best indoor place in our home to take pictures.
