I've done this on mine and it makes a big difference to the look of the car, probably the best cosmetic mod you can do to a standard GTI.  :congrats:

If you want a kit to include all that's needed to restore the headlights.. I can recommend this kit -

I have used this myself and so have a few mates.. brilliant kit! Deano has done a brill job with his too.. but if you want all the stuff in one buy this will be the one!

@Deano45 keep the good stuff coming mate.. I love what you done with the side skirts.. I guess you did them yourself? how did you do them? The wheels do look good too! :happy2:

Hi muff1991 ...Thanks again for the kind words as for the side skirts ...unfortunately i did not paint them i wish i could a little out of my league of spraying. I got a local body-shop which i have used for the past 4 years really nice guys and do a great job.

looks wicked, and so does the bumper... how much you give for the spray job? have you been quoted on the rear bumper too? I want to get the rear valance too coz I reversed over a sleeper thing once and it had huge studs that fixed it to the ground, didn't know and pulled forward.. luckily slowly so I heard it pull, it ripped the mounting eye off the valance on the inside where it bolts onto the car and stretched the plastic into a point.. looks crap and screwed for weeks about it! but give me more of a reason to get an edition 30 rear valance ;-P

The body-shop gave me a good price £300 for the side skirts and the rear valence to be painted ...which i thought was really good considering the work so will drop that of next week for paint and should get it back in a couple of days..

Another update ..  I have now fitted my Edition 30 rear valance the guys at the body-shop did an awesome job as always and looks so much better than the black plastic one it came with so really happy with that......

Also.. as you can see in the picture i now have a rear wiper delete .. unfortunately the wiper arm/motor had a split in it and water was going everywhere ..Thought about getting a new wiper motor for a split second. Then thought it would be nice deleting for a cleaner look..

Also decided to give all the seats another clean can't believe how much dirt came out ..but on a positive note they came up really well... I was surprised  also new seat badges fitted.

New 12mm Bimecc  hubcentric spacers added to the rear to get the wheels inline with the arch looks good just need a 10mm set for the front now to bring them inline...
