What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[PranK]

Be warned people.. It is a MASSIVE f-ing pain.

Thankfully because I have my cheapie ones on the car, I can take my time with the OEM ones.

Forgot to mention, I had to buy new glass lenses to silicone on afterwards, the originals were definitely NOT coming out in one piece! Based on the popular UK style, which is starting with two sets, and smashing the glass and cleaning it all out on one set, and cutting away all the housing and plastic from the good glass on the other set, then after painting, combining the good bits of both to make 1 good Joey modded set.

I got my glass from Mike at Volxtuning, ~$69 for the glass, and ~$60-$65 for shipping, so about $134. Worth it! (ECS is about $95 each for glass and shipping, so, ~$190! You might as well start looking for a cheap new set! If you are thinking if this, definitely consider finding some black RHD new ones instead, you'll save a LOT of pain. FK Auto projectors will be cheapest..

Hmmm, thanks for the heads up. I might just clean my OEM ones up and not joey them. I love dylans FK's for sale but I have *so* many things requiring my funds at the moment.

Stupid bills and broken cars.

Aaah, that's another doozie those door locks! It takes HOURS. I've done 3 of my 4 doors successfully now..

[Lynchy]

Stripped not one but two rear doors. Charged ahead on the first one and popped the regulator off and got in all sorts of trouble
But hey, one door is back together!

[kendog]

Haha, I feel your pain mate. Good luck with the rest of it!
