Apparently you can take the indicators out without removing the bumper.

i dunno anout the 6n2's but i certainly dont av to whip my bumper off to get the indicators out, just simply undo one lil screw on each and it pushes out.

if u have to take ur bumper off that can be a bit of a pain in the arse, i had to take mine off to fit my numperplate, all six bolts that hold the bumper in were welded up with rust so i had to drill em all out, and buy new bolts n speed-nuts from vw. only cost bout ten n half quid mind.

No you don't have to remove the bumper, infact its very simple:

I went to halfords to buy some silvervision bulbs, and they were so expensive!! I can't remember exactly how much but I decided I'd rather spend that money on some meguiars products next to the lights lol

CymruPolo wrote:Looks good. Changing the indicator bulbs make such a difference aswell. I need to get it done but unfortunately it involves taking the bumper off

dont need to take the bumper off, just unscrew it and unclip is and away u go!

where did you get the rear lights from?

was that question directed at me? i guess so, i won them on german ebay

http://www.ebay.de/

had to buy them as a pair even tho clearly i only needed the nearside one (or the offside one as it would be in germany)

i paid 53 euros including delivery.

turned out to be more of a pain in the arse than i imagined, as the guy didnt have paypal so i couldnt pay like that and my bak like all banks wanted £20 for doing a money transfer to his account, so in the end i had to post him the 53euros cash which cost me £6 and took about two weeks to arrive with him, thankfully the guy spoke english so i cud let him know what was happening.

moral of that story is if u buy from a foriegn ebay, make sure the person has paypal!

lookin good mate, where did u get the rear wiper fill thing from? did it cost much or involve much work?

The rear wiper blank is made by cult society and are readily available form here:
http://www.cult-society.com/frameset.asp?site=company
although expect a 2-3 week wait for postage from Belgium.

cost about 20 notes i think, maybe lil more maybe a lil less, i cant remember.

fitting is easy as pie, and if you look on the second page of the Diy Guides section of this forum towards the bottom of the second page there is a tutorial there called 6n rear wiper removal or something along those lines.

hope that helps matey,
