..what's the general opinion on these? The 325 cab I've just bought has one and I personally don't think it adds anything - just looks a bit ' bolt-on go faster' and a bit sh*t if you know what i mean?

Were these a 90s trend? I think it's days are numbered...

A full brow on a mk1 or 2 golf can look decent but the spastic half brows on e30's look terrible.

hmm, im not sure to be honest.

the oem freak somewhere in me dislikes them, but the ''everyone hates them, so i will have em to look different'' says yes

but then if it were down to most of the folk on here then all our cars would look the same.!!!

i think eyebrows suck. but maybe if you paint them matt black to match the grill. it may give you a slightly subtle look

they dont look good if the kidney grill is chrome imo,,, because they look like 2 stick on bits however, if the kidney is black, and the brows black, it gives the front a subtle frown look.
prob gunna get slated for that comment but hey ho. think im bothered. i may be welsh, but im no sheep winkeye lol
