It with?? Been meaning to do mine for ages!
It locates itself really well all you gotta do is guide it along, I bonded it with tiger seal and neatend up any excess bond after left it to bake and set in the sun applied pressure for like 10 mins (was literally me standing at it pushing against it)
And voila
Although I do have led lights out in the Brake light
So I have the part number
And will order a new one as I hate non symmetrical things !.
I also don't see a way of opening this led light unlike the standard 3rd light.

Yeah I think so I'll get new coil-overs at some point and lower profile tyres and then take the car lower than it is, maybe even spacers but there's not a lot more I want to do just touch ups. And a bit of colour coding.
Had the car 4 coming on 5 years I've no plans on getting rid of it but I will start work on the engine soon I know il never get more out of it and that doesn't bother me Id just like to replace some pipes and clean it up etc
But first I need a head unit as I'm driving with no music at the moment.

I always get the comments of "you shoul Get gti grills etc but it's not a gti and I've no interest in mimicking one (besides the styling of front and rear spoiler) I may at some point get a gti steering wheel for comfort. But I love my interior

Yeaa but first glance is just looks so shhhhiny, An no way... I've only been insured 6 months and only really starting the mods properly.
But take pics when you go, Especially the chalk mark ones
And you didn't do the smoothed bumper yourself did you?

Yeah but your staring with
A very clean example... I definatly
Agree with swapping the tailgate
Instead of just adding the spoiler.
No mate they were plastic welded and fillered properly.

Oh hell Yea, Swapping was something I wanted from the start, but the only thing I'm stuck with now is the little dent on the boot, and even tho it's small its just one of those things where it bugs you like f**k
And you know how much it'll cost to get plastic wielded and filled?
