My Mk2 came with headlight washer jets from the factory and I must admit they do grow on you, to the extent that to me they don't look quite right without them anymore. Although I do have a little bit of an obsession with optional extras so I guess I'm a little biased. It's all personal preference at the end of the day but I think that look fantastic and that little bit different.



Edit to add that £300 for the jets alone is ridiculous! :)

I like them in an OEM+ kind of way. If I dropped on a set at a bargin price, I would go for them, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to find a set.

The problem with them is they spray screen wash all over your bonnet, however this would not be a problem for me, as the only time the screen washer gets used it at MOT time.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Thanks, credit for the condition has to go to one of the previous owners, there's a thread on here somewhere documenting the respray and replacement parts he had fitted. I've done a few bits and pieces since I've owned it, this pic was taken a few months back now.

The 3-400 miles my Golf does a year are never in the rain, and if it does happen to get the odd fly squashed on it, that gets removed as soon as I get home. Sad, but true.
