If you were going down an OEM+ external retrofit DRL route Pagey, for me it would have to be the OEM Audi S6 DRL's that I think you can just about pull off on the Mk5 R32/Mk5 GT. Jake (danishmkvgti) was very recently selling a set on here for a more than a fair price  :happy2:









If I had a front grille setup suitable, I'd have gone down that route myself.
You may not like them, nor may others, but I think they look dead smart and will perhaps suit it better than the others you've tried which maybe don't work on the Mk5 as much as they do the VRS?

They're obviously more or less a Volkswagen part too and should be very reliable.
There's a couple of sets on ebay.de on most days. Avoid the Audi dealers directly as I think they're £400+ for a set.

If they fit then the bottom grill slot may work on yours?  :smiley:

They do look nice, but I think I would prefer them in the top part of the grille.

Moving away from the DRL's, uploaded the stage 1 map today and fitted a rear torque arm insert!  :happy2:

There off eBay mate, put a search in for vw golf mk5.
But make sure it's a worldwide search they should be there.

With a bit of grill modifications I'm sure you probably could dude  :happy2:
They do look smart in either the top grill slot or lowest slot.

I think most .:R's have them in the bottom one as it's an easier mod, not because it's not necessarily possible to amend the other end of the grill surrounds?

It would look very OEM+ which is my cuppa tea and you couldn't be accused of them looking tacky or bling.

They look like Golf 'R' wheels, but they could also be R8 wheels.......

+1. Look like the Golf R 'Talladegas' in black.

If it was a vote I would be thinking RS6 wheels which is why they look quite far out of the arch, and they do look like the Golf R wheels.

Looks miles better bud, I think the newer GT Sport should have come with the darker headlight in the first place?
