Yep works perfect........ Thank you

- clear indicators on the front (IMHO) would be nice :wink:

- Wheels look very nice - nice kinda chunky 8)

- mesh where the VW badge is - hmm I'm not sure - black badge man I am :lol:

I love the colour tho and it certainly looks a tidy little machine

Not bad at all, I really like Montana Green, it's a lovely colour.

The alloys suit it really well - look a little like mine but 6 spoke.

I agree with everyone here though, would look much better with clear indicators and a black badge/debadged grille. Spray your original one black? That'd work?

Not particularly keen on the red drums either. Drums are ugly things which are best hidden, I'd paint them black personally but that's all a matter of personal taste. Mine are rusty, so I can't really criticise!

I see colour coding, debadgedness, lowering, I see this!

I got my clear indicators from Venom Motorsport - proper Hella ones too for £25. Ebay's a good place to look and there's a thread in the VAGParts section of this website too.

Most places will sell 'em, you've already got the hard bits to get (half tinted rear light clusters - did yours come with them?) so the rest is easy.

Grille wise, um, look for companies which sell JOM grilles if you wanna go cheap, or FK ones (which are exact replicas of the original). VolksBits do the JOM ones. Come to think of it I think they do both!
