THIS...



What do you guys think? To me, it looks neither good or bad, just somewhere in the middle, I guess...

Well, the thing is that the whole fron is not made for having that grille. The proportions become wrong when you just stick a grille like that in there. Imo, you have to change the lights, the hood etc... It all merges in to make the grille fit. So, I would say NO here.

I guess this guy was too cheap to order a brand new Audi TT, eh?

Need to go eat now.

Same here. So much cleaner, more dynamic and more sporty looking. And all this despite a similar design. How the hell did they pull it off so nicely?

Looks great. Should have been implemented into the cars design a long long time ago. At least MK1 TT owners know such an upgrade is available.

I'd assume that's your position on the rest of the current Audi lineup? No?

Ummm, no. I love the new Audi line-up except for the A5.
So wait, just because I don't like the look of the new grille on the old TT, I hate all new Audi's?
