Nice! What was involved with installing these? Did you have to remove the fog lights? Or are they just stuck on top?

These are a full replacement for the fog lights, which didn't bother me as it's something I never use, plus they are actually there for a purpose not just cosmetic, ie cool air feed to the oil cooler  :smiley:

Thanks for the positive comments  :rolleyes:

I like them. None of the .:R cars have ever had fog lights, so it goes to show that they are unnecessary, especially with xenons.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Out of curiosity what sort of oil temperature were you getting before?
Max I've reached on track on a hot day is 135deg
Normally 120+ on track
Around 90-105 on the road
Max on track this Wednesday and was a hot day was 106 deg  :smiley:
Thanks.
Mines been sitting at 103-106 every day this past week on the road. Think mines maybe running abit hot.

They add to the visual impact really well, I like where you going with the look. Red n black always a great combo. Carbon wrap on the roof?
