JMc Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You regularly hear the words, "It is only a car!" but the point is that it is your car. In most cases you have spent money on it, whether that is a lot in the case of a new car, or not so much in the case of a lot of older cars. Unfortunately cars are easy targets and vandalism makes a big impact. A good friend has an immaculate Audi S3 which he treats like a child, but that is his thing. Last Christmas, a group of drunk blokes (according to the police) went a long a line of cars carving various graphics into panels on the cars. The police reckon they spent more time on my friend's car, due to the fact that it was the last in the line. Literally every panel was scratched, including diffusers!! The worst of it is, that there is apparently CCTV footage of them moving towards the car, but due to the poor quality, that is about all that can be seen - SCUM! Sorry, I went on a bit of a rant . .

chaz Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Why do you want to put mk4 rear lights on, try and keep it all MK3 that's when they look their best to the smallest detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
