Sounds a bit like a German-only model to me - I mean we have all those features, other than the paint colours and this:

the Polo Special is also fitted with an MP3 radio system from Volkswagen Individual.

Anyone know anything about it? It interests me muchly....

Deek.

Now what interests me is:

Didn't those "spy shots" we had have funny looking black sills?

The wheels are the same too

Ahhh, this is why I was finding parts listed on ETKA for the 'Special' model

Looks VERY nice, hope they bring it to the UK!

Hmm... What sorta parts?

Not much, only door sill protectors with the 'Special' logo, I didn't really take much notice to them because I thought they would be in tacky font (as most special edition cars are).

I dunno though, looking at that picture it could be quite classy!

@ mole: black painted sills were standard on early 9n's but taken off nearly straight away (see 9n brochure

)

Ah right, I remember you saying about them.

black painted sills were standard on early 9n's

So are they clearing old stock?

Seen some pics of the MP3 player - don't hold your breath as it does not look OEM. It looks like a Becker unit, and protudes from the dash somewhat.

I couldn't be arsed to copy and load in the pic, The steering wheel looks much better with the silver trim.

Another mod for Nelson me thinks. I imagine you could just order the silver trim and then fit it to the wheel yourself.

BTW, are those silver pedals unique to the 'Special' or just R32/GTi copies?

Nah, you'd probably need a whole new steering wheel for that (not something I could afford at the moment with two cars!)

Those pedals are the Polo Fun pedals, they fit straight on the standard pedals (unlike TT/R32 ones) but they are VERY expensive

Doeas anyone of you guys know if this type of polo is deliverable in Belgium. Because I'm planning to order mine at the end of december and this one is yummie.
