Ignore DH - That's just how he is!  :grin:

Have a look at this post i did not too long ago about murdering out

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=155512.0

Hopefully you can get some inspiration from that.

Keep up the good work, i've always wanted to murder out a Mk4, hopefully you can do it for me  :cool:

Oh and ignore the haters...




Haha. Thanks for the positivity!  :wink: never thought something like window tints would be so controversial.. Lol. Fair enough that everyone has their opinions though..

Thanks for the link, looks good! I saw a Mk5 murdered in Performance VW and ever since then I've been itching to do it on a Mk4.. It's gonna really get going this month.

Keep looking out for this thread- bought my alloys and will be doing them soon and would love to know what you think of them..  :grin: thanks again for your words!

Its not my car bud, someone from a local vw club, but he just slpit the lights and sprayed them matt black and sealed them back up again. Really cheap mod but makes a massive difference!

Ah thanks for the tip mate.. Sounds good to me- just don't know whether I want to put black angel eyes in it..?

Have a look at my headlights in my sig pic, i've split them and painted some of the insides black then covered the outside in tint film as well :smiley:

Actually here's a better pic:

Just to stir it up some more, your rear lights are also illegal.  :kiss:

Some other MK4 on Traffic cops got done for it, no working reflectors anymore.

Not hating, I'd risk it and run them personally but just a heads up.


Looking good though!  :cool:

Where all my moneys went.

I got pulled over and cautioned years ago for running heavily tinted lights on a mk3 fiesta xr2i. Apparently they didnt let enough light through, which was a fair comment! But hey i was 18 and we all make mistakes.

If i were going to tint those mk4 lights, i'd only tint the reverse and indicator sections. I know theyre already OE tinted but you could make them darker without upsetting anyone, plus the leaving the tail/brake sections red might break up all that black...


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Yeah I know they are..  :wink: Obviously I wouldn't let the police know that  :rolleyes: They do let enough light through when I'm breaking etc, but as you say not seeing the reflectors is a no. You can buy some to just stick on to the lights but I'm not that bothered really.. Where I live, the police do a lot of looking but not much pulling. TOUCH WOOD  :smiley:

Yeah, I know they're illegal without the reflectors on them.. Not really that bothered about it at the moment  :rolleyes:

I see what you're saying about breaking up the colour- I really like those half tinted lights you're going on about, but, it just wouldn't be murder if I had any other colour on it really.. I'm also having an issue with choosing whether I should put red on my new alloys or just have them completely black..?
