I would like to try and do this myself though as the instructions seem to suggest it only involves undoing screws in the grab handles (or from a quick look underneath them) and something to do with the latch. I want to get it done this weekend because if they don't work I'll need to chat to the seller.

I was about to buy facelifts from German Ebay for circa £650 but questions about additional wiring and then the genuineness of what might be supplied put me off...for now.

Thanks in advance.

Just for reference, I ordered mine from TPS at £680...they wouldn't match the £650 and were surprised Robinson could sell it to you so sounds like you got a good deal.

Should be here by Tuesday

Well, as an update with mine, I raised an Ebay case with the seller to return the goods as they wern't genuine.

This non genuine fact was irrelevant as I basically just wanted to post them back for a full refund, which was well within the 14 days the seller themselves stipulated, never mind various other laws etc.

He got shirty, and then gave me the silent treatment.

To cut a longer story short, last week Ebay awarded the outcome of the case to me, sent me a full refund and stated I could keep the goods....

So, my facelift lights cost me zero, and I have the old pre face ones to sell on. Guess i'll put up with the slightly rougher looking plastics that you cant see once fitted then

Some people have been born with the ability to fall face first into cow ****e and stand up smelling of roses.

Great result Ian, Jammy sod

Hi Ian,

Just to add here...

Mine came in Audi boxes with part numbers on it as well as on the units themselves.

Also I didn't notice any roughness to the plastic on mine...it all seemed pretty smooth.

Not sure what it means but still pretty jealous of the deal you got on yours!
