[Andrewcupra TDI]

how long would it take to clean and dry mark

and when do you want to make a start ( i mean with mine )

think its skool 2nite aint it , what about 2moro then if so

 

[jonjay]

I dont mean to be rude/critical but those angel eyes must have a real poor plastic as its gone off colour.

 

[MarkWales]

not taken with the best camera mind - I dont think they have gone off colour

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

could also be the leds or are you refering to the daylight pictures ??

 

[brightsideteeem]

did you not end up with all marks on your bumper when you took it off on the floor??

lights look good though
