Thanks for posting the pics. I had the back lights mounted before the car got resprayed, and I don't like them too. I would prefer dark/black back lights as they would look best imho, but it is difficult to find some. I still have the stock back lights in my garage, but now idea if it would look better.

And yes, i intended the car to look clean and unobtrusive.

I would love to have standard tinted ones, but the problem is that this is not legal and if i get into an accident i might run into problems. I know that there are some smoked-glass back lights, but unfortunately they are not produced anymore. So i think I will go for the original ones.

The boot is opened with a 3-button flip remote key from an VW. Additionally i installed a calliper from a Passat next to the hand break. In the boot a fuel cap motor from another Leon took place, which is directly connected to the lock. And i am using a bumper from the new Scirocco so that the boot 'jumps' out of the lock as soon as i open it. Works quite well!
