Post by: Russ.C on 12 June 2007, 12:18: yeah they look ok, I assume you remove the black plastic first and just clip them on? How much were they, and where from? :smiley:

Post by: illyun on 13 June 2007, 02:16: hmmm maybe its just me but as soon as I saw them I thought 'cheap and nasty halfords type chav mod' but hey if you like it then keep it... everyone else here thinks they look nice. The fit doesn't seem to be quite right either - is that just the light playing up - or my eyes?

Post by: RedRobin on 13 June 2007, 07:28: Seeing that the rest of the 'ali' trim in the R32 Mk5 is 'machine finished', I don't think this matches. I wouldn't go as far as saying it looks chavvy but I think it will probably cheapen the appearance.

Post by: GreyTornado on 13 June 2007, 08:07: i've seen them on ebay too... was mulling it over for a while... but think i prefer the original look now... much classier
