bungy 2 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Now I have the stance right on my car and a set of satin black alloys, my next idea is to paint the headlight surrounds satin black along with front and rear VW badges. Has anyone else had the headlamps apart on a mk4 or even done the same?I also got myself an ebay bargain in the shape of a BMC CDA last night, just waiting for it to be delivered.

bungy 2 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Had the front and rear badges off today and painted. Just waiting for the paint to harden up before putting back on. Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I haven't had Mk 4 lights apart but my Angel eyes are in bits atm as I'm changing the halo bulbs (Sparkz is). I've seen a few sets of MK 3 lights that have had the internals painted black and it looks good depending on the colout of the car. I think it would suit yours. I've seen a link somewhere about this but can't remember where.My mate is interested in a BMC for his 4 MO. How much of a bargain was the one you're waiting on?Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I won the auction on the BMC CDA and just waiting for it to be delivered. Ended up at £132 including postage. Link to post Share on other sites
john555 0 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 iv looked at spliting my mk4 lights and they just wouldnt split but i done my mk3 easily so im guessing they use better sealantiv herd people buy a second set of lights and smash the glass in one and the backs int the othere but that seems a bit of a waste Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 You could be right about the MK4 lights. I did buy a second set which had already been split so I could change the halo bulbls and use the lenses which weren't chipped. Sparkz did them for me. He said something about gas mark 3? http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/spindat45/150920091956.jpg Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I did a set of lights the same way on my supra, then resealed them with windscreen sealant. Link to post Share on other sites
RAPgolfvr6182 2 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 yeh split them with oven or hot air gun or even gf's hair dryer Link to post Share on other sites
UKG Grant 1 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 i have heard mk 4's are nearly inpossible to do. however i have heard of people pooting them in there oven one a lowish head for a while. might be worth looking into. I did my corrado lights but they came apart realy nice! just clips holding them on Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Stance is getting there but is slow with letting everything settle between adjustments. Badges back on after painting. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Is it me or is the forum really slow today? Next to go on is the BMC, Milltek, smoked repeaters and soon the decat. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 So as a little update to now. The BMC CDA is on and sounds awesome along with the Miltek non res and now a factory cat that has had it's internals removed. Rear camber correction bushes have been ordered from Sydney / Australia but i'll still need rear spacers to get the stance correct. My head unit has been replaced with a Sony i-pod compatible bluetooth set and Alpine component speakers. Headlights still need to be painted but a new shark fin aerial looks the part.
