I just bought mine from the dealers. I don't recall them being particularly expensive.

You can get cheap ones from ECP, ebay etc. They're probably ok, but you won't know for sure until you try to fit them.

OEM from a dealer are more expensive, but at least you know for certain they will fit perfectly.

I've been looking at them too, I was looking at Chrome ones though.

I was worried about them not fitting properly, being a massive job and then me deciding I liked the colour coded ones better anyway haha so I'll have to give it some more thought.  If I get some before you do I'll let you know  :happy2:

I think im gonna run the dealers when i get a chance and get some prices just to see, if its not that drastic its gonna be the way to go just for ease

I was looking at those to start then brushed alli ones caught my attention, saw a mk7 R the other day and they now have them so dont wanna look like a cheap copy, just got some black indicators lenses so I think colour coded will set them off

Cheers mate ill throw up on here how much they cost from the dealers
