Also hate the idea of making making a brilliant car anonymous by removing the badges. We often wonder why our vehicle prices are so low it's because no one knows what the hell just passed them!
2 tintops.
3 cabbies, 1 with G60 power, just for fun.
Volvo T5, just for fun.
3.1Ltr V6 Dutton Leggera, just for fun.
Renault 5 GT Turbo, just a money pit!
Several boring cars, just no fun!

Although my Campaign has to have twins to be correct, I do prefer the look of singles - makes the car look wider I think.
I agree with this if your after an original look then you should go for what ever the car came with.if your modifying it then I prefere singles and grilles are available new but at the end of the day it's your choice you should build your car for you.

God (and VAG) made the GTi as twins and that's how they should be!

I am pretty sure my 83 GTI TinTop came with single as standard. I have run both, and for a while I had 460 watts on main beam !! You could see very well :-)
But I prefer the single look and now I have an intercooler in the way !!

Not true on 2 counts. Firstly only the later GTIs were twin headlamp (4 lamp grille) as standard. And secondly, VAG are the UK Importer, not the manufacturer.
