Lovely looking car Scotta.
Garth:
My GTI had grey lights when I bought it, not the standard black ones. As it was a company car previously and no sign of any mods, it was very unlikely the previous owner changed the lights. That leaves 2 options;
1) The lights were fitted wrong at the factory (wouldn't surprise me, knowing VW)
2) Lights were incorrectly replaced after damage (would not surprise me either, knowing leasing companies!)
Joey mod them, like I did:

They're built on a production line so doubtful it's a factory error, more likely a cost cutting repair

I've seen a lot of VW's with very bizzare combinations of specs in my time *, so I would never rule out factory error, but I agree that cost cutting (or simply ignorant) repair is the most likely reason for the lights being wrong.
* For example, my fiance's mk4 has half of the front seats with heating elements (drivers seat back and passenger seat bottom) :stupid: with no seat heating and there has definately never been any seat repairs or replacements on the car

I'd check to see if it's had xenons out the factory. Previous owner may have flogged um before trading in to get a few quid. Wouldn't suprise me. Could have even px'd with a mate with a TDI or similar.
Think a scan with vag com would show up any errors the car might be throwing up if there not there. On the plus side, if that is correct, you could get xenons installed easy enough!
Nice motor though! :happy2:
