Re: Brads progress....I hate you! Dam car!!!
Am assuming they got smashed when the previous owner did such a p*** poor job of fixing the front.
Would the original lights fill that crap gap?

They all have a little gap but yours does seem a little excessive.
Are they genuine VW headlights or aftermarket lights?

You need to undo the bottom 2 headlight bolts, push the headlight up and tighten them up to sort that drop

Your best looking for a set of used Xenon light units mate, they are over £400 for a new set.
The standard 6N2 headlights look pretty awful on a GTI front end, the Xenon lights really do set it off and give it the "GTI look"

I swear that's as far as they go. Also the bumper is out on the drivers side slightly. Gonna try and re fit Sunday when I will be calmer.

Forget the bumpers now......when I pull away I can hear a pop noise!
Anyone had this before? Sounds like bushs or shock. It just goes "pop" and then fine. It's mainly when pulling away.

Probably a wishbone bush. Be weary of powerflex ones. They transfer alot more vibration into the chassis from the road

Re: Brads progress....popping noise! Help!!!
I'm having mine changed next week. They started making the same "popping" sound when I put my H&R Cup Kit on. I could see they were worn. But the change in angle didn't go down well with them
