2003 Audi TT Exterior Accessories

Prior to applying the protection kit the lenses underwent headlight restoration with a 3M-kit, because there was severe yellowing/clouding. Product is well packaged, has well written instructions and tips. I love that the little squeegee is included, this helps a lot. The foils easily peel off the backing. They are slightly wider than the lens, and slightly shorter on the outer edges, so there is 1/8 in. gap on outer top and bottom. Inside fit, towards the grille, is perfect. Once applied, the excess foil on the sides can be easily cut with a new blade of an utility knife. Few tips: - Most important item on the instructions: always, really always, make sure you have enough soapy water on and underneath the foils and on your fingers/hands when applying. Also wet the squeegee, otherwise you might wrinkle/crease the foil. - The mk.1 TTs lenses have a heavy curvature, it took me quite a while, and multiple passes, to smooth out all the excess foil, especially towards the bottom of the lenses. Patience is paramount. - The instructions recommend the lenses to be warm to the touch. I found that a heat gun also helps with shrinking excess foil, but careful, it gets very soft when hot, so spray soapy water before using the squeegee on it. - All of the blind spots from soap/water deposits under the foil were gone after 24 hours. Only a few small blisters remain, I guess they will vanish over the next couple of days. That, and the gaps on the top/bottom outer edges are the only reasons I cannot commit to 5 stars for appearance. Otherwise the lenses look like brand new again.
