Thanks S800BRN

Andrew - are you talking about the lights on the car ? or the ones i had for sale ?

MVB12 - 2.0T badge will probably be taken off

The ones on the car...

They are dectane mk6 style smoked
They needed a little adjustment to fit and the reverse light and fog light are the wrong way round.
So I'll have to get that sorted.
Will get some better pics up later

Have also had the BCS R32 style cat back fitted, which sounds incredible. :rolleye:

And the rear wiper is gone.

Would get rid of the rear badges, and probably the lights, as the tint looks too dark to be legal.
Rest looks good, one of my fave colours too!

I hate to say it, but those lights really cheapen the look of what is otherwise a lovely car. They look more like something off a Barry Boy Corsa!

To be honest I thought that about the original red plastic ones, 

I just prefer the smoked look and the mk6 style LEDs .  :P

Dude, OEM is the only way where lights are concerned!

Have seen the LED's and they do look cool, just think the tint is a bit too OTT,
