Lights look great mate. What paint did you use? Rub the silver down first?

Nah just sprayed it straight on... Did bleed through in a few places but after a light hanging coat and 2 good coats it was all good.

I used U-pol gloss black

Sealed them up with Tiger Seal.

I used a couple of different size filler knifes, very similar to what mateyguv uses in his video.

Removing the black plastic trim on the outers helped a lot and that area was he most difficult to split. I had to use a fine flat bladed jewlers screwdriver to open the top of the lense up, hammer and chisel style! :surprised:

Had a bit of a mass fitting day on Sunday...

Before


After


Well chuffed with how they look.

Also fitted the full GTI brake conversion I've had in the shed for over 6 months

Before


After


Rears

Before


After


The discs are much bigger..




Also had a fiddle with the rear camber and maxed it out, will be setting it up properly whilst it's on the ramp having the tracking done to get the fitment right.

Brakes were bled today at my local mot place and feel good, not had a chance to really test them out yet...
