I got these working yesterday:


I was nervous about drilling into the lights but I managed it! Now I'm abit paranoid that the bulbs will over heat and melt the lights! They shouldn't but it's still on my mind!

And today I ordered some dsg paddle extension thingymabobs! :D

Just fitted these:


As you can see I've removed the silver parts with the writing on. I didn't want the silver parts on and I was hoping the paddles would be solid underneath, but there not. I'm now going to source some thin real carbon sheet and cut out the shapes and re-fit them.

Peeled off the old plasti-dip from the front center grille and re-coated it with a couple of new coats.
