thats good. probs get a set

Been a while since i last posted on here as the car hasn't had anything done to it due to a lack of time . However im now in the mood for some little mods so last week i orderd a can of plasti dip from ebay and here are the results









Just debating if I should do the side mirrors matt black to match the badges.

Next thing on the list is to add a slight black tint to the rear lights.

Also want to get one of these, just for laughs

I hate the antenna on the roof so was looking at this

Its very cheap and looks great but ive read that in order to remove the current antenna the roof lining needs to be removed
Any one know if this is the case ?

yes! another person that uses plasti dip like me! will be doing my badges on my new white match when it arrives did you ever see my black badges on my old 6r?

1. do the mirrors did you have any trouble with the plastidip? want to try it out
2. how you going to tint the lights? I want to do this!
3. I read somewhere that the antenna is actually in the back window... you can unscrew the aerial so try the radio while its off?

Really nice Polo mate, what do you make of the standard headlights without the HIDs? Pick up mine on Tuesday and bought some Nightbreaker Plus bulbs for it!

The radio works fine without the aerial, have had mine off basically since I got my Polo a year back and no problems!

your thread was where i got the idea for the plasti dip !! they looked good so i thought i would try it out. brilliant idea by the way
Also liked what you did to the chrome strip on the grill. what did you use for that ? red tape ?

thanks pal. its not as nice as some of the polos on here tho !! haha

i absolutely hate the standard headlight bulbs. ive not changed mine yet tho so it would be good to see some before and after shots of yours with the bulbs fitted

does it not look bad tho ? like its missing a part or can you not tell ?

Up close you would realise that something is missing but tbh it never bothers me. From a distance it just looks like a very small stubby ariel

I really like them OEM, amd love the Knights. I opted for a 2011 1.2 TDI SE as I got a huge discount on it! £3000 off the price VW wanted! I will install them on Saturday so will be back with some picks then!
