GLPoomobile 958 Posted March 22, 2007 theres only 2 words of 'txt speak' there lol.. dont be harsh A harsh word now could prevent a habit forming white 205's with white colour coded trim looks truly gash. That's just my opinion of course, but never the less, it does You can get away with colour coding with some colours (Maxi's FLA being an example that springs to mind), but it doesnt work with white. You go from having one of the best colours for the GTi, to something that looks monumentally cheap in one fell swoop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ben19gti Posted March 22, 2007 Always been used to texting speak really but because i'm not thet good at navigating around a keyboard when i've had 1 joint too many So i just resort to whats quick and simple. Why all the fuss anyway you all know what they mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted March 22, 2007 Why all the fuss anyway you all know what they mean? Not all of our members speak English as a first language, and even for those that do text speak isnt as understandable as you seem to think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLPoomobile 958 Posted March 23, 2007 If you post something that is badly written, the person reading it may struggle to understand the point, get the wrong idea, or just give up reading what you have written. Doesn't really matter if English is their native language or not. So if you ask a technical question and don't get many replies, consider if what you have written is actually digestible! This doesn't just go for text speak. Some of us may have dyslexia, some just generally bad with grammar, and others (like me) type badly or too fast, so we miss letters/words or make typos. I think this is excusable to some degree, but using text speak is just lazy and unnecessary. There have been plenty of occasions (and this is another pet hate) where I have seen one long post with barely any punctuation in it, and you get to the end and just think 'WTF?!' So the point is, you need to write clearly, and text speak is a big no no in that sense. Jeez, this has gone off topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted March 23, 2007 i second your point on the no punctuation! very confusing :s i generally read through my posts a few times before posting and still find plenty of mistakes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeyde 1 Posted March 24, 2007 thank god, someone eventually helped this guy out with a picture of what he was after. im a bit dissapointed the reaction to this post. unessesary winging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted March 24, 2007 It's not exactly a life or death situation though is it Anyway I think that 205 looks pretty good, without the red trim would make it look worse of course, and it is a non sunny I may PS some white speedlines on it later, just for full effect you understand.

Foltan 0 Posted March 29, 2007 yeah it would probably look better if the wheels were shiny or black, or maybe white, and if it had red trim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete1986 2 Posted March 29, 2007 My 205 is white (the best colour ). I think that it is the contrast between the black and white that makes it look so good. Colour coded trim destroys the whole 205 image IMO, apart from black and maybe a dark blue. Found one with red trim here I think it looks even worse than without Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
