DIY - Custom R32-Style Taillights

[Turbo GTI]

Looks good. Wow, a crap load more people are doing this than expected. Interesting...

Still to this day what I don't understand is why do people waste their time taping the whole car when you can just take the lights out..:iono:

If you remove the taillights you're still going to have to tape it anyway. It's a waste of time no matter how easy it is to remove the taillights, when you can just tape around the taillight. To each his own

After having done the Custom R32 lights for a few days. the lights still look great but i accidently got some of the clear coat on the paint of my car. It is very light and not noticeable but when you touch the paint. you can tell. Is there a way i can remove this clear coat that i accidently go on my paint?

thanks
Robert

LOL, thanks. I guess you're referring to Andres' fast caps... I dragged him along into the project. He got his fast caps from ECS or Parts4VWs I believe

It's work to take out the lights. But the Work compared to the risk of getting the spray tint on your car or clear coat is well worth it.
I will be doing this soon.. if i could find some spray tint in stores

^that's why you make sure there's a 0% risk of getting the spray on your car :thumbsup:
