I'm surprised its the drivers side foglight surround that fell out, the one on the otherside weighs a ton as my local dealer are retards and ordered me a non GTi one which I then basically filled with filler to smooth it lol.

Looking good, needs the badged grill and some proper wheels though. I do miss the noise that car made.
