i have all mine the same colour as the car, if u really must leave the lights black, at least paint the lower strip of the grill (the bit that goes under the lights etc)

How do you get that VR splitter to sit tight in the middle! :shocked:

Fettled with mine for ages (original VAG) & still have a 'gap'. Have another one on it's way on the new set of bumpers so hopefully get it right soon!
