Don't forget to swap your headlight bulbs etc, as you will be on the wrong side of the road !
And keep a high-vis jacket in your boot if you're driving through France

Enjoy pal

No idea Neil, but for the continent they will need swapping.

Can anyone else confirm?

Yep, looks like it could be awkward especially on the passenger side as it is very hard to see in..
I used a mirror on the MK5 which helped a bit.

The workshop manual mentions removing the headlight first which means removing the bumper  :shocked:

Nap not happy with that, bit of sticky black plastic like the old days should do the trick  :grin: :grin:
