Â£60 for a headlamp? Jeez, when i worked at partco i nearly bought a pair, they were 30 each. I was gonna buy a pair and just swap the lenses as mine are a little scuffed and gti lamps are silly money.

It must be a common manufacturing fault....they just never did a recall as per usual!

I cant see why not! Just ensure you get an even finish - you will have to take the letters off the mount unless you use a really fine paint brush
