By far Dan! Going to fit my colour coded Reiger tomorrow Karmann. How did you find fitting it, as the instructions are in German.

The small pack u get with it was rubbish. The small self tappers were too short to go through both the grill and the plastic casing for the lights. And the other screws looked too long (dont even know what the other stuff was for). So i drilled 4 holes (2 either side) through the eyebrow bit of the grill and through the plastice casing of the lights, then went to halfords and bought red cable ties-Fits perfect!

 

I was thinking of painting the eyebrow part red and the two lower slates gloss black-but OMG all red looks so good that im not even going to bother trying to put it into words! Its amazing how a grill can change the look of a car so much.

Used the cable ties after drilling the holes, they worked a treat. Is there normally that big a gap between the bumper and the first slat.

Excuse the quality, for some reason when downsized the image it got worse.

[KARMANN 0]

Yeah once mine was fitted i noticed that there was a gap at the bottom-think eveyone has it-bit it only really shows up on light/bright cars as behind the grill is dark and the contrast stands out.might get somit put in behind it to hide the lugs bit better.car looks good with it mate.

no mine flash orange,if u look at them from behind there red,but from the side u get a hint of orange-so think that might have somit to do with them flashing orange.

8) what a transformation....... 8)

[KARMANN 0]

Yeah im well chuffed with it justnow, my wallet isnt though. Im not sure if the handles would look good colour coded or if being black helps break up the colour-any thoughts?

 

Cheers Fraser

Great choice of rims matey :D

 

I reckon the black breaks it down, but then everyone has there own ideas... :roll:
