[Mk2] [NA] Rev3 light conversion

Post by cavegod »

Just a quick question,

When converting a rev2 to rev3 lights should the centre panel sit flush with the boot as my boot overhangs by 1/4 inch or so?

Have you bashed in the rear panel to clear the reverse lights?

Yeah bashed it to clear the reverse lights. When looking down from the top the panel does not sit flush with the lip of the boot.

Sounds like the reverse light housings are still conflicting with the bodywork, thus pushing the panel out.

If anything if they pushed it out it would line up better.
