Would love to do this to mine, is it also correct that the GTi ones have indicators in?
How hard are the mounting brackets to knock up?

Hi Paul, looks good eh?

No mounting brackets.

Just cut out old units and glass in Lupos, (in the correct position, that's the tricky bit).

The lights are about 50 squid each new but the GTI's are much more, and yes with indicator.

Did you do yours or did you get someone else to? How do you determine "the correct position"?

Don't the GTI ones have Xenons in them though?

The faired in MkIII headlights look superb IMO, and only further enhance the inspired styling of the Chimaera. I'll be getting mine done before the spring hopefully (along with the final engine mods and uprated brakes). Nice looking motors lads biggrin

Phil.

I did mine myself.

Put car up on axle stands in the garage, marked the beam centers on the chest freezer, (felt pen marks are still there!) removed the bezels then got the chain saw out evil.



Yes I believe the GTi ones have xenons.

Here's some more info.

Yep, the sweat of fear tongue out.

Hi Richard, I'm just going off early for a run down to the coast for breakfast, jealous?
