question about Ecodes and trimming of fender...

A Foore · 07-24-2004, 06:24 AM

I have a 97 1.8 and I really like the look of the Ecodes. I know that trimming a bit of the fender is involved, but when I do decide to sell the car, will I be able to put the original headlights/corner lights back in or will there be too big of a gap? Also would you recommend getting the 2 piece from LLtek or just go with the 1 piece Valeo's? If anyone has pics with those to style headlights on, it would be great if you can post them up so I can see the difference. Thanks.

they are direct replacement for the stock 2-piece. You do however need triming if you go with the 1-piece.

I recall reading the 2-piece ones leak a bit, but nothing some silicone won't fix. I think the 1-piece will look better, but it's up to you. You best bet is to search on the A4 forum for pics.
