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

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
