Standard facelift rears mean the lights? I would leave the LED's on. I like the look its got.
But if you do change the rear lights gimmie a shout as I want a set of them ones lol

I liked these when I got it but now IMO they look tacky. Ideally I wanted some red LED rears like SABS to give it a more clean OEM look but I'm not looking to blow money on this car, so unless I get a swap for them some standards will be on the cards.
I'll bare you in mind when I eventually do the change!

#81: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - Std rears 28/04/11 Author: JamieM, Posted: Sun May 01, 2011 12:50 pm ---- I kept my word and cleaned it today, at like 5PM, got bored and then realised I had left my plush CYC drying towel in Bedfordshire so it was game over, still done the job looks 10x better cleaned lol.
Please excuse the quality, they are BB Torch shizer...
Also forgot to mention, It sailed through it's first MOT with me with flying colours the other day bar, I had to buy some legal plates @ the cost of £30, good old Halfrauds and shizer Kwick Fit!
And I got a caution for my exhaust being too loud.... Lolz, I've heard louder farts.
Tadaaaaaa lol.

Yep, it's in my MOT yellow section p**s take, guy was really trying for a tip by offering advice and explaining me how the rules had changed. Funnily enough I asked him if he could give me the decibel readings for my exhaust and he said he can't access that information... so how the hell does he know it's over :|?
#86: Re: JamieM's Bleu Recife' GTI 180 ~ SONIC - Std rears 28/04/11 Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 7:24 am ---- Finished what I started today, gave it a QD with Menzerna QD & a layer of Red Mist & polished the windows...
I know it needs lowering but it's never going to happen:thumbup1:
It's by no means 100% either, it needs full paint correction and if I can ever be asked it will be MINT , still not on 30k yet lol

Haha I wish I could justify the costs but I just can't atm lol
I really want;
- K+N Typhoon with the blue piping
- Map
- Coilovers
But that's like nearly a grand on little gains (Compared to my ST)
PM coming back your way btw!
