Semi-noob from the US

[Rendy]

Thanx for the welcome folks.
2 questions now:
1. Will my smoked back lights be allowed?  They look dark in the daylight, but only block 20% of light only. They have no ambers or rear fog light.
2. Is the rear license plate surround going to be a problem?  I'm hoping that the US surround can be replaced with a Euro surround.  Any parts people here?  I'll check EKTA on my end.

smoked lights no worries.

Number plate will need to be changed, as i think ours are more elongated. Surrounds are avaliable for them though.

[Neaty]

does your indicators just flash the whole of the red light? as apposed to having an orange lens for the indicator?

if so then i think they have to be changed! not sure how though they might do a euro equivelent

[Rendy]

My indicators flash the whole of the red light.
I can get euro tails installed here in the US.
The reason for my question was that I would automatically tint them, but I wasn't sure about the reception of smoked tails in the UK.

[Neaty]

oh ok cool, yea smoked is fine!

welcome bro, and niiiice rides.

two things though,

1. Why go thru all the trouble of shipping your ride from here? it will cost a buttload of money, then you'll have to modifiy it to Euro spec's, if you have money like that just buy a right hand drive over there.   just wonderin'

2. i see you keep reffering to a "boot" what is that? and what does "arrow" mean?

sorry for the dumb questions, i'm a californian

[Rendy]

I'll take a beating trying to sell a 3-6 month old car.  Muchless recouping the money on the cosmetic mods.
MKV Jetta's are pretty much Euro spec, they're modified futher for the US market.
Boot is trunk. You've got me on 'arrow' 
We'll be shipping most of the furniture and household effects (which has already been estimated as less than 1/2 a container) so filling the other half of the container be fine.

[Neaty]

yes boot is trunk over here, and arrow is slicks way of saying hello!
