no i suppose not, its just ive got them and the vision is 100X better but didnt realise the issues

Agreed with the lighting improvements.  But sadly for me now, any car which didn't have factory fix xenons would be a deal breaker.


i wonder if anyone else can help me also im after a couple of wheels refurbing, im sure iv have seen sumwhere that its very hard to refurb monza 2's is this true??is there no where where i could get them done??if there is does anyone know how much??

Where are you located?  There are three companies which have been proven to be fully competent with Monza IIs - the first to master them was Spit & Polish in Kent - they do 'mail order'.  Then there is Lepsons (cant remember where they are), and there is also Pristine Wheels, near Milton Keynes - who are used by VW UK for all official refurbs.  Pristine also do mail order, and they also sometimes have some in stock already refurbed - but there are two different types of Monza II - and they generally only have stock of the later Ronal type, rather than the earlier BBS ones.  Try Googling those three.

It's just not worth the hassle is it?

Besides, the standard MK5 Golf headlights are very good if I remember correctly.....
