You need one from a Lupo gti or MKIV golf 25th anniversary.

Available from your VW dealer/vagparts/ebay/scrapyard.

Update:

I dispatched my rear lights for tinting today and should have them back in about 7-10 days

Oh and I have decided that the back of the car needs to be wound up just a few millimetres as its looking a little low now that it has settled in properly, it looks a shade lower than the front! A job for when I next have a few minutes to hand.

Strut brace is in my possession and simply requires a change in colour before fitment.

I was intending to get all of this done in time for UD so I am a few weeks behind schedule. After these two mods are on, here endeth the "winter progress" thread!

Cheers

The tinted lights arrived today. Pics:

With flash:

As you can see they are reflective so shouldn't be a problem with regards to MOT or legality. No need for silly looking reflectors elsewhere on the back of the car!

The lozenge-shaped items are a set of genuine VW side repeaters that were tinted at the same time. Not sure if installing them too is overkill so may hold off for a couple of days?

Certainly the rear lights will be fitted before this weekend's Club Polo Midlands meet at Wednesbury.

What do you think?
