howdo...
i was just wanting to know what is best, 8v or 16v....


lol, only joking 
im sorry to ask, but i cant find a thread i read not too long ago about making the standard gti lights into the smoked version, not the lenses, the part you paint behind, and iirc there was like a how to bit on there too!

ive searched and scanned back but i cant find it... ive searched oven and how to smoke headlights etc... but nothing...
has anybody got the search key word that im obviously not searching 

i know its here somewhere but maybe im man looking!?

cheers all

No problem mate, I know how crap the search can be, especially when you haven't got all the time in the friggin world to look through the results.

hey again, gonna got to the shop soon, but wanted to know... will black hammerite do the trick??
or does it have to be high temp paint??
just a thought as i have tons of that at home, lol!!

[VR6-Joe]

I used black hammerite, never had any problems, just be careful when you apply it (thin coats)
