140$ badgeless grill... Painted black already...

^ Not Sure How to install... shouldn't be rocket science!

Input? Anyone?

MissVeeDub · **Posted:** Sat May 02, 2009 9:23 am

i like the flat back grille. But don't you have the GLI/GTI front now?

Jeisin · **Posted:** Sat May 02, 2009 9:30 am

the grill is ez to install and u wouldnt have to get it painted. but there would be a bit more work that'd have to go into it. like a hood notch delete

^ is this what your talking about?

the cap is really only a temp fix. to make it look right u'd have to get the notch actually removed

lights???

IMO if you do the lights you should get color matched side markers and pull the bulbs on them so its just headlights and LEDs, should look good though, GL with the install

Well its done! and what about clear side markers?

TheRedBaron · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 8:27 am

Looks good... :notworthy:

.... you need to color match your bulbs in ur side markers to match the grille lights OR disconnect the side marker lights period.

Jeisin · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 8:47 am

where can i get some clear ones?. they should be easy to replace.

why disconnect them when i can keep them working with a clear cover.

edit#

i looked around. and im finding 40-50 bucks. that alot for a piece of plastic! even ESETUNING is selling painted markers for 50.. and even with the lights connected the yellow still shines through!

off to ebay i search brb!

MissVeeDub · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 9:10 am

40-50 bucks ins't bad for clear markers.
Welcome to owning a German car

Jeisin · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 9:14 am

i was thinking the actual bulb was white but in reality its still freaking yellow... so having clear markers would still suck... i guess im gonna have to go with the painted and figure out how to disconnect the things...

and question are tires under warranty i got a effin bubble on my front right tire.. and ive only had the car for 8000 miles!!!!

MissVeeDub · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 10:12 am

did you buy Road Hazard when you leased the car? If you did, than yes, if you didn't then no

Also, check your manual and see if there is a pamphlet from the tire manufacturer. Sometimes they cover defects on tires up to a certain mileage.

Jeisin · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 11:50 am

i got the spare in the back with a bag and some stuff in the trunk... im not sure if thats the road hazard kit... and i never got any pamphlet from the tire manufacturer...

but wouldnt it be covered as a wearable items part of the warranty till 12k?

MissVeeDub · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 1:03 pm

i got your text. Damn, i don't know the specifics of your deal at time of purchase so I don't know.

Road Hazard is an additional Wear and Tear program you can pucrchase at any time to cover and rim and tire damage. Usually between 300-600$ depending on coverage.

If you didn't buy this you will be on your own when it comes to any damage on the rims or tires.

TheRedBaron · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2009 1:11 pm

So your side markers are yellow as well as your bulb?? Wow...talk about double whaamy !! ha ha

You can do either get clear markers or smoke with bright white bulbs OR just paint the side markers the color of your car and disconnect the bulb completely from its harness.

I got this package !! Good deal too...if I get a bubble or blow out or a bent rim....they replace for free free free. But normal wear and tear...they don't replace.

all you gotta do is pop the sidemarker off and pull the bulb out, you wont get a blown bulb warning, been running mine like that for awhile now

^^ Tire BUBBLE......FTW.....ha ha

Jeisin · **Posted:** Wed May 13, 2009 10:13 am

FEAR THE TIRE BUBBLE!!!!!!!!

anyway i got the tire replaced and i got it sent to continental to see if they give me a new 1... or at least cash back or maybe a reduce price on a new 1..

and by the way i removed the sidemarkers and the bulb is the same color of the halogens. =/ which isnt all that bad but... they must die.

TheRedBaron · **Posted:** Mon May 18, 2009 3:51 pm

Get smoked side markers with bright white bulbs OR color match them with bright white bulbs.
