Smokin hot!!!
« on: 15 January 2011, 14:23 »
Just sprayed the inside of headlights and they look brilliant! However, I left one of em in the oven too long and melted the plastic casing, and all the retaining clips. Ooops! Well after a shot with the heat gun I managed to bend them back enough to fit. Thought I better test them for this reason, and low and behold, it keeps popping fuses :(        Had enough now though, gotta finish off spraying the grille so I will look at it later cos I can't be bothered!

I assume he has a mk3, in which case you can spray parts of the inside that's not reflective. It's called the Joey mod, most of us have done it  :smiley:

Yeah it's a mk3 and yeah it's a Joey mod. It's not the reflective cones but the outside lips of them. Bit pikey but I think it looks good!

No idea who Joey is, possibly the first person to post here how to do it I suppose. Thought it was better of on here though as the mk3 section is more question based, where as this is general vw chit chat and I thought my idiocy was best shared with all!

Some guy who did it first and posted on vwvortex about it. I think he was American. Not sure if he first did it on a mk3 or some other car.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3
