Let's start discussion about doing facelift to older 6R. Outside facelift is reasonably easy. Only front and rear bumpers and lights are new. Standard models are using front bumper from GTI/BlueGT. I guess the new rear lights are direct swap. What about the LED front lights?
From the inside it gets slightly trickier. New Polo features the new enterteinment system from Golf VII. Is it in any way compatible with the electronics of the old model? Otherwise inside got really minor changes.
Some pictures, mainly of the interior details. New is some standard model, old one is BlueGT with xenon, RCD-510, automatic climatronic, rain sensors etc.
