Hmmmm,  Makes it look cleaner with the clear lights.  Guess I am going to have to look into those as an upgrade.  My orange ones are starting to break off where they attach to the car.  Getting loose.  I already have the European bumpers with the clear lights down low so the side ones on the grill would look every bit as good as yours. 

Love the hood emblem.  Rabbilac?

A box trap and little bits of lead go a long way...from what I have heard.

i actually tried that a bit last year, i let the door open to my sun room and had a motion camera setup to watch them come in and eat at night, then i set up a trap with food in it instead and they wouldn't go in theyd just bat at the food from the side.  so i thought i could solve it, i shut the trap in the door so that they'd have to go in the trap to get in the room.  nope, those little ass holes would jump over the cage then bat at the food from the side of the cage still.  i only ever caught one.  it was a gigantic turtle tabby or something.  one of the biggest cats i had ever seen.  ended up being real friendly and declawed so i figured it was one of the neighbors pets and let it go.

yeah its growing on me.  i replaced mine for the same reason plus one was cracked and filling with water it actually ripped off in the car wash, once i got them off i saw they were actually easy to fix(the attachment points not the cracks), but i had already bought the clear ones.  

heres where i got mine.  they don't seem to be sealed up very well so i put some silicone all the way around them except on the bottom, that way if water gets in it drains out.  also they do not come with the nuts and they use 10-24 nuts instead of the fine threaded metric that comes on the vw stock.  and its an 1157 bulb u can get the amber ones at most part stores.

I have to toss in my 2C on cis, it rocks. I've had a bunch of early b21 Volvo turbo stuff, couple of Mercedes, and work on a lot of old 911's.  Only gasser vw was an 85 or 86 8v Rocco, and in 05 or 06, at a combined, consistent 38mpg it was cheaper to drive than my buddies late A4 PD TDI, and before he flashed the ecu I'd pull a car or two on him in 2nd and 3rd. The Rocco was very well sorted and bone stock. I've had grief from very late Mercedes cis, but overall if you follow the book it's sweet. I still dream of my AAZ in a Scirocco, but with the unreasonable price of diesel it's tuff to look past an ABA as cheap as they are.

that was kind of my thought.  plus i couldn't find a decent tdi.  i would prefer a diesel but oh well.  my complaint with this car is that a bunch of *** keeps breaking.  i bought it because the body was in great shape and its unmolested, had a new clutch, and new tires.  i have already replaced a few bits, and now it needs exhaust, water pump, rear brakes, i think a new throttle body, and im betting the coil needs replaced as well.  but i know once that stuff is done i will have a very solid car... hopefully.
