Got a pair of headlight protectors on the way :)

Not sure what do next tho....
Good lad 8)
Get yourself some legal pressed plates next from Dubmeister!
Cheers.

I do like the pressed plates and they do look great on black cars so possible.

Was looking at fog lights, but I worked out they will cost £75ish time you get the fogs, grills and the new switch.

Want to do something with my wheels as well, was thinking about just taking the hub caps off and leave them as they are not aint sure hmm..........

You are probably aware of this but the front fog switches are common in the VW range, it would be far cheaper for you to get one from a scrapyard rather than buying a new one. I got mine from a bora but they can also be found on golfs, polos, beetles and probably more. It was only about £5 from the scrapyard if i remember right. But you are best buying the fogs and grilles new. Hope this helps.

H7 bulbs - two of
No, the car is pre wired - the wires are connected to blanks up inside the bonnet
You need little push in mounts and screws from a VW dealer that are specific to the bumper
You need to just swap the switch over

Pence mate

If you want good ones, osram nightbreakers

But to be fair, they are just fogs and get used once in a blue moon.
