Drl's and fog lights arrived and got busy fitting.
I wanted to keep a factory look to the front and Fogs are a bit pointless as Hardley use them.
Image
Fogs were of eBay from Poland, half the price of VW ones and I new I would be taking them apart so didn't want to spend mega bucks. DRL's from one of my suppliers.
Image
Fog light with reflector and housing separated, just unclipped.
Image
DRL unit almost direct fit, had to Re drill a couple of holes to allow 8mm bolts to secure.
Image
Fitted and what it looks like from the front. Fits direct to Bumper on original fittings.
Wiring nice and easy 12v power and earth and side light feed so they dim down.
Took about 1 1/2 to do properly.
I think it modernises the front.

Spot the difference

It makes the sides so much smoother, took an age to get old double sided off.

Cheers, lowered on Vmaxx kit. It's ok,just a bit bouncy. Looking into some stiffer dampers for rear as I carry a bit of weight.

Loving the new side mouldings! Are they the Edition 30 one's??

When you find stiffer dampers for the rear, give me a shout cause mines is a bit bouncy aswell. Mines has Bilsteins on at the minute. Was maybe going to try FK's.

Cheers for positive comments :D
Side mouldings I got from part # listed on here, they are Touran Highline ones.
According to Vmaxx they do adjustable dampers, just waiting for an email back from them.

Did you have original fog light wiring or did you wire into something else?
