Found these tail light units @ http://www.fk-automotive.de
They also seem to have a dark grey tinted version.

Just being curious, Are these units the next thing you would buy for your own Mk3 ??

I won't, to be honest I don't like these units, I love my clear In-pro units :)
For a pic of the In-pro units take a look at this topic: http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... php?t=3656

Sorry to say that I don't like the clear in-pro ones or the horrible lexus style ones. I thought the Mk 3 was safe from lexus style lights, but it seems not anyone.

I like the late spec oe tinted lights or the standard ones tinted red so they look completely red.

I can understand your opinion to that :) everyone has his own ideas of styling, I bought the In-pros 'cause most "tuned & styled" mk3s overhere in the Netherlands have the standard tinted versions. I didn't want to be the same :D

Either the OE tinted ones, or the ones you've got now Gilex.

I expected the clear InPro ones to be horrible, but they're not bad at all.

The Lexus ones are, however. Plain old horrible.

:lol:

Those Lexus lights are awful - how to make your car look like a Nova. :(

yeah lexus can look awful on some cars. they can look cheap and nasty.

I like white tinted lights (like the hella mkiv led ones), but only on a dark coloured car. dark tints are nice too.

I agree with Dan (hardhitter) - I really don't like the In-pro ones or the FK ones. I much prefer the VAG tinted ones, or even better all red ones done with tinting spray. Why none of these companies sell an all red light unit for the Mk3 Polo is beyond me, in my opinion it'd be a very good seller.

No, no, no. :cry:

They're something people tend to put on for the sake of changing their lights. I've yet to see a car that they look good on.

I'm still not convinced, I mean the 206 ones look alright but I still prefer the standard all red lights on every colour of 206.

The Mk4 Golf needs really subtle styling, Lexus lights just don't fit the bill.

Just my 2p. I like things simple.
