Hey lights look wicked  :drool:

I've just had my GTI painted up like yours... I have the R32 lights in a box to be fitted... did you need spacers to fit the lights??

Felt brave last weekend, after leaving halfrauds armed with primer, sand paper and matt black spray paint, I got to work on the rear VW badge (what a mistake)
Badge popped off easyily but the ruddy chrome coating vw put on these things is stronger than arnie on roids!
took me nearly 3 fookin hours to rub it down and my digits are still paying for it  :chicken:
After a few coats of paint and a day's hard graft - here are the results

Before



After




I like it  :smiley: - goes well with the R32 rears, think the GTI badge needs to be black now too....  let me know what you think!

Nice Dan  :happy2:

Although you only really needed to give it a quick rub over with some fine s/paper if you'd have used an acid etched primer!  :wink: :P
