Nice! Did you also get the bodyshop to red tint the tail lights.

 

Yes, they were still a little bit orange from before, so got them re spray them

Lol, I took them off to have Passat door handles fitted and painted the same colour, just a pain to get the striker changed on the back of them.

Were they Oem quality and a good fit?

 

I meant to say side repeaters.

Not indicator lenses

Hey guys

 

Would you recommend anything else to change while I do the wishbones, ball joints and r32 bushes?

Drop links maybe. May as well do the rear beam bushes to complete the set! Don't forget geometry and alignment after all that though.

Droplinks added to the list

Track rod ends aswell

Maybe cv boot kit too

 

I have done the rear beam bushes before

Polybushes I think.

 

And wheel alignment after all complete

 

Thanks

I believe they are Topran with R32 bushes.

Just ordering the rest of the bits from vw heritage.

The problem with the place in Cov, whilst they're excellent, is the waiting time. My boss had his MK2 Scirocco booked in there - was booked in 6 months ahead of dropping it off. He dropped it off earlier in the year and has been told it's going to be about a year before they even start on it! So... unfortunately... you might as well write them off. I wanted to use them too (owner is good friends with my family) but he's utterly snowed under.
