Now im in a bit of a dilemma

I want to replace the Passenger side outer light cluster as its got a funny crazed effect on it that wont come out.

Do I...

A - Buy a new unit from VW for about £70
B - Buy the LED rear light clusters and replace the whole lot instead (not sure of cost on this lol!)

A is most certainly cheaper, and my pockets are deep but Im not sure if I can justify it, plus im not sure im so keen on the clear centers on the LED ones  :signLOL:

....Well, when cmdrfire manages to progress the Valeo LED mod the clear centre issue will be solved.

What you spend perhaps depends on how long you plan to keep the car. But be warned that spending a lot on mods then encourages you to keep the car!

Todays little mods....

Finally the missing bumper moulding arrived from Germany, so I got painting. Three coats of primer so far. Tomorrow Ill rub it down and lay the base coat on  :wink:



Added some heat resistant vinyl GTIs to the calipers which look pretty cool I must say....excuse the dirty wheels though!



And finally, installed my custom GTI foot rest insert (custom as it does not bolt into place). Very OEM looking I think





More bits to come if the weather holds out over the weekend  :party:
