after 500 mile round trip from london to leeds over xmas, look at the state of my polo! ok the dirt doesn't show up that much on a dark car but i can tell u that the dirt is caked on, like a coat of paint!
sorry if this pic caused any offence to fellow polo owners, especially the state of those precious 16" RXIIs...

cheers for the comment dino!
yea Si i agree with you and i've been thinking about it for a while... its just i don't have the balls to do it! really fancy the gunmetal grey but i like the colour as it is, the way light hits it... especially at night! dont wanna do it and change my mind cuz i've heard the original bbs silver is hard to match! i should do a photoshop mock or something and put up a post with a vote!

I'd go with body colour and polished lip
If you have a decent resolution picture i will attempt a photoshop tonight for you. Add me to MSN if you want - dino2004 AT hotmail DOT com

That photo makes me slightly happier about the state of my 16" RXIIs! Not worrying about them too much as they should be getting refurbed sometime soon.

hehehe yes it sounds totally mad, but true it looks awesome. I saw the exact same design with what ive stated on a 6n2 polo at a cinema multiplex near where i live. Must say it looked rather sexy
It might have been white inlay with red lips it was one of the two, but it was kickass!
Also Redline - when are those 15" RXIIs gonna be on sale. I may be very interested in them
Cheers,
Alex
