Thanks for that......

I thought it had something to do with removing the indicator just didn't want to force it and break the bugger.

Have succesfully removed the indicator this evening. The Silver vision bulbs should be here tomorrow so i'll get 'em put straight in.

Cheers

I seem to remember from my Issue 1 of Volkswagen Driver magazine, (Which has a review of the then NEW Polo GTi) that the pictures they showed of the V-reg red test car had the GTi lettering all in red. Both front and rear lettering was in red. I suspect that it was something that changed from the po...
