Firstly there's no need to apologise for dragging up an old thread - Especially as it's a Review and it's good that a review is updated.
I think I wrote earlier in this thread that I wasn't at all sure about buying some at first - They are expensive and really mostly cosmetic. I found them a bit bling in direct strong sunlight at first but they seem to have weathered down without losing their protective lacquer.
On my car they match the bonnet vent and front splitter exceptionally well and they also look extremely good on Neil's white GTI. I'm also particularly pleased how well they house my aftermarket Hella LED DRL's - Much better than the oem fog panels did.
Fixing is a wee bit worrying but they do stay on! If you don't remove your whole front bodywork you'll have to drill your bodywork - Something that not everyone likes to do if they plan on putting their car back to standard when selling - I've gone far too far now to even contemplate such a future action!
If you do get some (TTshop are the sole European retailers: 01234 855 555 / Ask for Abi) make sure you check the carbon weave - Real CF weave is never perfect (like vinyl is) and laying over the complex shape of the foglight recess is a tricky area. Ask TTshop to inspect them before sending to you. Riso (Mr OSIR) is now aware of the potential problem so they should be ok.
