Title: My new look rear end
Post by: MickeyC on 06 September 2010, 16:29
After fitting my black depo headlights ive changed all the other lights to suit.

So fitted some smoked tail lights, black VW badge and some smoked side repeaters....

looks far better than before  :smiley:
to finish it off you should colour code the backround of the badge so the VW is Black and backround jazz blue  :smiley:

p.s. whats up with the exhaust sticking below the bumper? why no 4mo rear valance? lol

changing the depo light from LHD to RHD can be done after fitting but it isn't easy and you need someone with very small hands !

I also think it would look better with the backing of the badge colour coded.

I have done mine on indigo blue golf and made a world of difference, get your rattle cans out  :wink:

Lights look good too :afro:
