Mine is the GT though, not the sport.

Just a minor update, managed to dodge the showers today and fit GTi headlights.

Imo, they look soooo much better, and considering they are OE units and I paid less than 50 quid for the pair including delivery I'm well happy.   

looks a lot better now

Looking good  what else do you have planned?

Looking good   what else do you have planned?

I have an OE GTi back box coming, and possibly a downpipe with decat.  I will be having a go at tinting the rear lights for the R32/ED30 look.  GTi skirts which I will colour code myself and a GTi spoiler insert, which I plan on spraying gloss black along with the lower part of the rear valance.  Minor things which have already been completed, Lockwood S/S sill plates and LED interior lighting (I will add some pictures later).

Beyond that I will divert my attention back to the vRS to go stage 2 and also looking at R32 brakes so the 312mm set up be a straight swap to the Golf.  

Quick comparison picture of the headlights -

Pagey don't put the lockwood sill plates on if you at the state of my sills after I took them off you would not even consider it...my sills where actually rusting and I had bare metal after I took them off and the paint came off with it.

They just collect water underneath and sit there damp all the time look good but not the best solution, I'm just going to buy some carbon vinyl and do some of my own sill covers.

   Already fitted, tbh I'm not that happy with them anyway, if you crouch down you can see them under the door......

[vRS_Pagey]

Just a small addition, fitted an OE GTi back box earlier today (thanks to JackG for supplying).  Had a bit of a problem in that the adaptor pipe I ordered was 64mm to 54mm, but the OE pipe work bulged very slightly at the fixing point to 55mm, so I had to bodge it a bit until a new connector arrives next week.  

Tbh it doesn't look that different to the trims I had fitted previously, but I am much happier having the real thing on there.  

Apologies for the state of the car, it will be receiving a serious clean later today.

looking good matey! just quick one did you get rid of your original grill the one before your black one? if not could i buy it from you?  

[vRS_Pagey]

Thanks buddy, sorry but that is the original grille, I just wrapped it in gloss black vinyl.

How have you attached the reflectors to the bumper, is the GTI valance?
