Here's one in black to wet our appetites. Shows needle sweep on start up, exhaust note, and the sport button. I think having the 'button' is what turns it into the sports car as some have said. Not sure you'd want it on all the time.

Still bit confused by sport button which I've ordered mine with. Says in price spec it has 3 modes, comfort, normal and sport. Would I be right thinking if you've set in setting it to comfort would it just toggle between that and sport when button pressed, and same between normal and sport when in that mode, hope u get my drift lol

I think it just has a sport and normal setting. So not 3 modes.

I've had a sms to say that my build week is now confirmed. Just waiting for my dealership to call me back with the info.

I had the LED lights in a Leon I owned last year.

The Polo ones are very similar. They are very bright. - really good lights.

The only possible drawback is that there is no "light bleed" outside of the beam pattern, so there is a very sharp cut off between light and no light.
Its a bit concerning on very dark country roads as you dont see too much of whats going on in the 9 and 3 oclock positions if that makes sense?

I've read a few bits saying the led although the produced a much whiter light the drop off was.much sharper & didn't have the range of xenons

The A3 Leon & polo all use their leds differently the polo seems to have a standard looking lamp with a led in the center like a conventional bulb I'm curious if this makes a difference or they all going to have the same shortfall

Soon as I can work out how to put photos up
I'll show you my car.
Pick him up yesterday. He was under a car cover
All ready to come home.
Every thing about it is perfect. I've got the six speed manual
And done about 150 miles in him.
Head lamps are awsome
Fog lights give a wide spread at the front.
Seats are firm but really comfy.
Sports button is only 1 way
Can't say how much I love this car
