Post by: celica on June 07, 2009, 11:43:37 pm: another pic i found.

even from factory they don't look the best things but practicallity wise are great options.

Post by: 182_blue on June 08, 2009, 07:04:05 am: the sunken ones are fitted from factory, ones that sit proud can be and are OEM VW items that are fitted after the factory, to the OP, theres marks on the back of the bumper showing where to put the OEM ones :happy2:

Post by: Eccie on June 08, 2009, 09:45:23 am: Iv'e got a Audi A4 avant with sensors, IMHO they are a lot better looking than the golfs, they sit flush and are almost invisable. Since its all the VAG group could i have them fitted to my wifes GTI? (you do miss them when you've had them, maybe lazyness)

i've been offered a set fitted at a very competitive price
the guy who fits them, does it as a job and uses these Ã‚Â£30 kit on hundreds of cars/ vans he installs them too.

what are the differences from these Ã‚Â£30 kit he bulk buys to these cobra ones which i think are Ã‚Â£100+

Post by: TomB on June 08, 2009, 01:17:59 pm: He could be getting Cobra kits at that price if he's buying in bulk, they used to sell on eBay between Ã‚Â£40-70. Why not ask what brand he's using?
