think the wheels will look better once spaced out! but hay we'll c.

ha yes i know once the car is done tho it will be all 1 colour just felt a lil pointless respraying it then replacing pannels and bummpers lol

Glad you're happy with the rear lights mate.

How about that roughed up bit on the right lens i think it was? To fit them, was that part damn near sanded off?

Good luck with the build. Will be interesting once all finished. The g/f said she's glad the lights went to someone on the forum. She'll leave you feedback next time she's on eBay.

cheers kev.. i wasnt worried 2 much pic made it look worse than it was.. temped to do my tights tric on them again lol..

they fit like a glove!!!! :p the bulb holders should arrive thursday.. so then they'll be working.. lol..

and tell your gf thankyou i am really happy with the lights...

They would've come with bulb holders, except, i forgot to get them as i was under the impression from the g/f's info ages ago, that the MK4 holders would work. In fact, i've done all of the work...

i went to the scrappies last year to source a MK5 Polo for its lights

>I< found out that i should've also picked up the bulb holders

when she got her 16v rears off here (which >I< negotiated for) it was >I< again who months later listed them on eBay

So, >I< did the auction ... she decided the price.

Admittedly >I< cocked up the postage

It was then >I< who was up late on Sunday packing both the MK4s and MK5s she had for sale. what a bugger that was. Under estimated how much packing was needed.

Then....

...she collected the money!!

LoL. What a deal ey?!

sound about right tho.. my gf would do the same.. lol..

just glad she puts no imput into my car as she does not approve of "upgrade/alterting" cars form what they had pn the forcorts!!

Wow.. the 6n2 boot lid fits on a 6n.. thats cool :)

to fit the boot and rear lights properly you have to raise the panel below the rear lights too so its all flush :-)

oh dont worrie i will be ;) muhahahahaha ..... lol....
