Pleasure.
Are you intending to do any mods on your car like fitting bigger wheels etc?
For now I want to fit a JB4, dp and drop the suspension. I have a set of BBS wheels but the Pcd is wrong for the Polo.

My ex BBS wheels in 18" on the new Polo GTi, fitment was a bit aggressive.IMG-20190316-WA0021.jpgIMG-20190428-WA0055.jpg
Looks very nice. I love the BBS wheels but all the ones that style i see are Golf wheels with PCD 112 rather than 100 like the polo. How did you get them to fit? I have been looking at various things like changing the hubs but would be a big job and void my warranty so would prefer a simple method of wheels with the correct PCD.

Have you looked at PCD Variation Bolts (aka Wobble Bolts)? I looked into them when there was a certain set of alloys I really wanted but were only in PCD 112 and looked into how you can convert the PCD. I found about these bolts in my search but I found a different set of alloy that had the correct PCD so didn't bother going down that route. Going from 112 -> 100 maybe too far these bolts though.
Also, I found companies that can manufacture PCD adapters that add about 20mm but then you have to account for that in your offset width making it harder to find the right sized wheels
If you are willing to up your wheel width to 8j then it makes the selection of aftermarket wheels for the Polo GTI quite extensive.

Hi. The wheels on the blue Polo are 18" 8j 5x100 et38. These wheels were from my Polo 6C GTi.
BBS make another nice 5x100 18" et36 wheel worth considering, called the SR. I have these fitted on my 6C Polo. Stunning wheel. Fitment maybe a bit aggressive.
