Even the factory xenon units look tacky .... Can't understand the need to make the polo look like a halfords special.

Slightly off subject i thoughht it was law to have driving lights now on all new cars?

Off topic slightly, but are those the Golf R alloys? Or is this a pre production Polo R? They look great.

They look like 5x100 Talladega replicas from the short view you have of them. As far as a Polo R goes, this is just a badged and kitted up Polo :)

Appologies for being slightly off topic but has anyone had any experience fitting OEM bi-xenon headlamps such as these:

What else would I have to purchase to fit these myself?

Cheers

Standard dealer response to buy themselves some more time! I bet they haven't completed the training required to fit these yet so they're using a cock and bull story to buy themselves two weeks! :twisted:

That's definatley the case, the dealers don't want to carve into peoples bumpers so they will do everything possible to try and delay it!
