Can i ask how you made the lower grill mesh please? I want to do the same

RE: Cornishtaz's my GTC SRi CDTi - cornishtaz - 13:th-Jul-2016

I used some of this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221533152369

Then removed the bumper and old lower grille. I then laid the mesh over the the bumper and trimmed to fit ensuring that the locating tabs line up with honeycomb holes. Once I was happy with fit and postioning I used some tiger seal on the tabs to hold the mesh in place.

Can I ask when you put on LED OEM rear lights. Did you get new wiring for the lights or is it possible to alter the old wiring to work with LED Rear OEM lights.

RE: Cornishtaz's my GTC SRi CDTi - saas170208 - 19:th-Aug-2016

I was wondering how much the led indicator mirror kit cost and was it a hard job to do?

The car came from the factory with LED lights. I know a couple of people have fitted them and there a straight swap.

You need to find some Audi A4 led mirror indicators, then it's a matter of cutting the mirror cover and led housing to ensure a good fit. Once this is done you need to run the wiring to each mirror.

Its not a mod for the faint hearted as it's easy to mess up the cutting of the mirror covers.
