No I'm afraid I'm gunna have to agree with Shep.. those Mk4 style ones look flipping gash to be honest!!!!

They look too new/too shiny/too bright/too chrome/whatever for the car!!

Chavtastic in my opinion!!

In fact, in that picture they don't even look real!

gotta agree with Joe and shep here. MK4 style headlights in mk3 do not settle in well.
