Thanks Tom!!

I'm interested in the rear lights! I'm contemplating whether to get the R32 rears or just tint them myself using a spray paint. Have done this on other cars and it worked really well. Plus, if the outcome is not as desired, the paint just slips off pretty easily!

Hmm, some of the bigger ones did, but most didnt. Close-up it looks shocking really.

At the edges where the film wraps around the curve of the light cluster it is all crinkled and coming up. Not too good. Its annoying because when i did it, the actual fit was perfect, there was just the occasional! But then about three days later it all distorted! I can't believe how an amateur like me could have done a better job! The A3 lights are slightly easier i reckon, as the Golf's curve a bit more and are larger.

....I'm glad to hear I'm not the only 'girl' when it comes to car tinkering/spuddling!

I wonder if it's due to having shaky hands brought on by seeing images of Jennifer Aniston.

^^^^
I notice your GTI has a K06 turbo. The rest of us mortals haven't got beyond K04 yet  :evilgrin:

Looks like you've got Recaro's - Leather or cloth? (I'm not jealous........much!)
