Audi TT The Audi TT line, in both the coupe and roadster combines Audi's All Wheel Drive performance with the feel of a European sports car.

So I'm making my own clear corners.

Hey Ryan, can you post a pic of behind the fixture so I can see what holds in the clear corner?

Looks good can't wait to see it done.

Way back I tried to make my own smoked corners. I tint sprayed my stock ones till they were pretty much black...then my dad happened to snap one in half [:@] so he bought me a set of clears...good deal I say.

I wouldn't go with anything but VHT Niteshades...I've seen people buy hobby shop spray and get goofy results. I saw a guy with a black TT recently who used hobby shop spray and it came out matte even after he used gloss clearcoat[:'(]

Personally I like the clear look as opposed to the smoked look. Nothing else in your headlights is black (assuming you have colormatched ones in a color other than black) so it doesn't seem to match to me.

bumper off.. headlights out... oven set to 350. getting ready to bake some cookies.

taking the bumper off for the FIRST TIME was piece of cake. took an hr and part of that was spent cleaning water in the basement when the water meter exploded. Water company on the way though!
