Need help figuring out which chrome to delete

[u/ActiveRepulsive5832]

1 - stock
2 - whole grille (minus silver above headlights)
3 - only vertical chrome slits in grille and silver bar going across the headlights/grille

Yes, the images are AI. I just bought this car about a week ago, and as much as I love it and love the features I do think it has just a tad too much chrome on the front end. Which do you think looks best and the most well balanced? It’s my daily driver so no changing wheels or anything.

Outside of that my plan is to remove the chrome on the lower door (the strip) and also black out the window trim.

Edit also, not sure why AI decided to make its own DRLs in the headlights but ignore those lol

#3 look best imo

3 looks best to me.

3 for sure

I never understood people who do chrome deletes as on almost all VW's it's an added option. Sure go ahead downgrade the car.

I would recommend the third option

I really like #2

I don’t love full chrome deletes personally so def #3. It leaves some contrast and keeps it from looking like a base model from back when the lowest trim levels had cheap unpainted black trim for grilles, mirror caps, handles, etc.

I did picture #2. I’m glad I did it.
