Mmm not sure about the fronts, as the lamps look odd and it really alters the face of the car.

Rears look smart though, if they are cheaper than the Golf R rears then could be worthwile, otherwise I'd just get the R ones, which IMO look slightly better?

Complete opposite here  :grin:

I think the fronts look quite nice and make the car look a little wider and meaner. the rears just look ghey imo :smiley:

I like the rears (and the ones on the R) but I can't help feeling the fronts seem a bit chavvy to me and cheapen the whole car. If I wanted a chav-mobile I'd buy an old Saxo and bling it up!!!!

Just my opinion of course.

Im not a fan. I do like the R's rear lights. I also think VW should have added DTRL leds to the golf from the start or at least changed them in the BW47 changes.

I really like those front and rear but would never fit them as the car would look too chavified. However I wish VW did that from the factory, especially the fronts, very nice, the A5 is one of my favourite cars from the front and this looks like it a bit.
