Ok.. these are the old lights.. but the red fog lens stuck out like a sore thumb!!



And with the ED30 light with the clear lens (red bulb so it still shines red)

yeah, i like the symmetry man, ill look into doing it on the valeo's. although i wont be able to use a red bulb due to them being LED's is the lens swap over easy to do?

[jedi-knight83]

Yes.. it pops out. in fact you SHOULD be able to use the clear lens from your old lights.

You should also be able to get a RED flashing LED bulb in that size.

Alright man thanks, i shall take a look into it, would be handy if i can just swap over the one from my the originals, makes it a little easier and will save me from buying a new lens.

R32 Rear end Arrived today as well, really happy with the Quality of it obviously not being OEM i was a little worried about how it was going to be, but so far so good. it looks and feels sturdy with no standout imperfections at all. will see how it fits after it goes in for a respray and the full system goes on in a few weeks time!

That grille looks stunning, such a difference the chrome makes.

Cheers mate!  I'm a big fan of the chrome over the red think it suits the black well.

Thankyou! it should all come together in the next few weeks. going to leave the Exhaust insert the matte black, i think it makes the bumper stand out better, can always change it round if i am not fond of how it looks!

Afternoon guys,
Went out and Picked the Rear bumper from the Paint shop today, they have done a stunning job! 



Now it was the job of fitting the reflectors, Exhaust valance and the Heat shield took no more than 10 minutes.

I got it Painted at PDAutoRefinishers Near Dartford/Kent mate, did a top job on it!

I took a trip up to see the boys at EMP Performance in St Albans yesterday, it was around 65 miles away from Kent, so i left at 6am.
i really Couldn't recommend them any better, it was fantastic! i was in for a custom remap, and R32 Full turbo back system which was made up on the day and the build quality is next to none and SOUNDS THE NUTS + goes like a rocket!!  Really gets going when the turbo kicks in!

A few shots during the day!






I didn't manage to get any photos of the finished result yesterday, but have been out today for a drive and some pictures.








I decided to go for the 4" Blue skinny cut tips as opposed to the bulkier rolled tips. I think it gives the rear a more aggressive look especially contrasting the black!

Exhaust looks great man.
We're off there next Friday to get a quad system for the Mrs A4.
Alex recommended them well !
