gti headlight split

Is it possible to remove the front of the gti headlight and replace it with new. The light works fine but the lense has an imperfection. Could a normal 6n2 lense be used if possible? Don't really want to fork out for a whole new unit if I can get away with it. Any help would be much appreciated.

There seems to be a recess at the top, dont know whether mines missing a seal making the oil escape. If anyone's got any ideas as to what else the probl...

15" BBS RXII (6N2 POLO GTI WHEELS)

Got a set of BBS RXII alloy wheels for sale. The wheels have had the outer lip rubbed down and polished by myself and the centres powder coated by a professional powder coating firm.

Re: GTI split rim refurb - cleaned up post

what are peoples thoughts on putting rubber/metal grommets in each hole of the centre section before bolting the two sections together? to stop the powder coating cracking through over tightening.
