about the mk5 back, i just cannot agree with u any more. Infact no disrespect to any one who has done this its just to personal taste, but i think flushed tailgates on a mk4 is a definetly no for me.
I had Lexus lights on mine too, but then they were sold on and then i got Hella colour magic lights for the MK4. I reckon they'll look cool. They are smoked but have a whitish tint to them, u might have seen them. ill try n get a picture of mine up ere.
