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

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

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
