I'm liking that aswel, those lights make such a difference.
Mines in the body shop until tomorrow,
Had a day off work today, and haven't been able to do anything to the vanette. I feel lost lol

Yeh I’ve had a few people ask to build now but I’m not overly keen tbh! Spend way too many hours on them and I wouldn’t want the pressure to build them for someone as it can quite easily go wrong. I just sell my old stuff on for what it costs me to make.

@mikenorman, I think I’d be the same to be honest. Once the stress and pressure kick in, it’s not fun anymore.

@mikenorman. Love the look of them lights. Always something different.
If you do decide to sell I wouldn't mind a pair.

Yeah, done a "Joey's mod" once on a Golf 4. It's not particularly fun, and the chances of messing up a light are quite high (I messed up one and had to replace it). It's a good look though. Anyone who does want to do this can just read up online about "Joey's mod" and do it themselves. It's not that hard, just need to be very careful and accept the possibility that you may need to replace a light (the problem is getting paint onto the beam reflector).
