Just bought some of the inpro smoked idicators today they are very simple to fit and look really good



Any fitting instructions available online?

Not just on-line, but on this very forum.     http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=745.0

There is a link further down the page.  :happy2:

The only problem with these and nearly all copies is they fade quite fast. Saying that you can buy 5 or 6 of these for the cost of a proper one.  :booty:

Piccie of mine.  :happy2: I love the look of the Anni badge against the white.  :star:

Not sure if there is any fitting instructions online i haven't looked,

All i did was pull the plastic mirror cover off (the painted part)

Remove the mirror glass by easing out with the clips that hold it on, remove the connections to the mirror glass

Two very small torx screws to remove which hold the indicator on, once they are out pull gently on indicator and it will come away from the mirror housing etc remove the small wiring block and put the new indicator on!

Make sure to plug wiring block in on new indicator and ensure that you put the connectors to the mirror glass on the correct pin which they came off.

Is it possible to buy a OEM front red GTI badge for the gti, or does it need to be a replica.

Cheers for the link matsu  :happy2:

This is the only place that does the originals, the badge  comes off a Mk 4 anni but they adapt them onto the Mk 5 plinth.

ive decided to get the exterior looking the way i want it now. As my car is black this has eliminated the need to colour code anything saving me a bit of cash. TBH i like the look of the gti out the box so im not going too do much.
here is my list below

1) ed30 / R32 rear lights - Where is the best place to buy these the dealers want well over £200 ?? Awesone £165 so far ?

What's awesone fella?
I've budgeted for a set at £160 or so but can't bloody find any for this price, as you say all £200 +. Wheres this source you're talking about?

Cheers.
Pete
