Hey, thanks mate, much appreciated.

Ah, well on UK spec Grande's the rear lower lights look like this...

View attachment 130904

Reverse light on the left, and rear fog to the right

And European ones are often like this

Rear fog on the left and reverse light to the right.


And I've got my hands on a European spec reverse light, and placed it where the rear fog would be.

Making both lights appear white.

Like this...( apologies for poor photoshop :) )

I need to get round to this eventually! hate the unsymmetrical look mine has currently got.
 
Yeah thats exactly why I did it.

Though currently its in standard form. MOT etc etc... Rear fog isn't bright enough to pass. But in all the years I've driven, I've not used it once .....
 
With the standard fog light yeah.

haven't changed it back either yet.

Great, did you ever get full pictures of under the car?

I've been looking for an EU one through ebays etc, can't find one :(
Not something I'm too bothered about for now but still keep looking, and wheels are delaying me big time.
 
Haha. No hint required. You got it in one haha
Was looking earlier. None for definite but VW ACTION and PLAYERS are likely.

Not sure what else is on that's not in the VW scene haha....

You looking at Corsa D shims? or the couple of washers method?

Think I'm going a couple, got ultimate dubs on sunday and fast show later on in the month.
