Swapped out my VALEO rear light clusters for my OEM Edition 30 ones. Have stuck a pole up to see what peeps think, seeing the pics next to one another I'm leaning towards putting the LED's back in.   :confused:






Due to my immense strength (and the fact I'm a muppet) i managed to Bollox my plastic boot trim so after a trip to the breakers and £30 later another one was bought. My god those things are a PITA to remove.  :fighting:






Also picked up these interior centre console grab handles for only £20 so I'll have them Hydro dipped and find someone to fit them as they look a right pain to me.


Is that boot trim the same on any MK V? 3 or 5 door?
 I need a new one and the Stealers want 120, another 40 to fit it!!!  After reading this though I'm beginning to think of paying 'em to do it...

I'll have a root round a few breakers before though at least.

Love your motor btw mc71

^^^^ Same part for both 3dr and 5dr. I wouldn't bother getting the dealers to fit it if I were you, it's not hard to get off  JUST BE CAREFUL!!  :wink:

Cheers for that pal

Mine looks a darker grey trim than that one though,  seems to be the same as yours.  It's for a black GTI.  No real rush for it I suppose so will keep a look out on the bay for one.  Could do with some advice on the best breakers round my way too if anyone could help.  I'm North West based,  don't mind travelling either in me  new motor...

Did you fit the grab handles yet?

If not I wouldn't bother paying someone else to do it, if you've got a set of trim removal tools its piss easy to do.  Took me all of 5 minutes to swap mine over.

^^^^ No I've not fitted them yet, I'd forgotten about these tbh. Will dig them out now and send them off to be Hydro dipped.

Unlike me your probably not an idiot hence I WILL need someone to fit them, beer tokens usually do the trick!

Sorry for being such a noob,  but tbh that's exactly what I am...

Am I right in now thinking that the trim is the same colour for all MKV's?

Gave the old girl a few coats of polish and wax, wheels today then winter prep is done!

Also put the VALEO rear lights back in, still can't decide which one I prefer. IMO the OEM ones do look better aesthetically but are crap as lights wheres the VALEO ones are brilliant as lights but don't look as good during the day.  :confused:

Wow  :notworthy:

Dare I say that's nearly as shiny as @Saintsteve 's edition  :ashamed:

She's going to look really special when those coilovers are fitted  :drool:

Thanks chaps! Up close the paintwork needs the attention of a pro detailer but for now she looks ok.

TD's had a few coats of Poorboys today...
