The wheels are not my cup of tea but they look much better than the standard wheels.

The grille makes the world of difference, I am not normally a fan of black VW badges but it really does suit your car, the green/black colour combo works well.

Keep up the good work
thanks mate, wheels were not really what i wanted but i really hated the standard ones, all 4 of the steels were not even the same!, hopefully if i end up keeping my polo for a while i will invest in something a bit more dubstyle

I live right next to Halfords and staples (or halfrauds as its called on here lol)

i drive through Shirley everyday on my way to work though, seen so many nice 6n2's around, its probably what pushed me to get the fogs done

Managed to finish up the rear badge today and de-wiper it :D

however my brake lights have stopped working :( , do any of the wires for the brake lights run through the boot panel? i only unplugged the one attached to the wiper motor

probably need a new brake light switch :roll:

Usually if it is the brake light switch the EPC light would come on your dash...

i bought a cable off ebay (£9 blue one) and using the shareware version of vag com, but i cant seem to get it to work, it scans but nothings coming up, but i have the engine check light and the epc light on. ( on the version on the pc it says select chassis code, i chose 6N because 6N2 isnt on there, do i need to add 6n2 to the .txt file?) - for those who know what im talking about :?

it works fine for me when choosing 6n. if it is scanning it should be working all right. try scanning using the engine controller option.

il try it again tomorrow, but im sure when i did it at the end it said 'no controller found', don't know if im doing it right

did you just switch the ignition on then plug in and auto-scan?

plug the cable, switch the ignition and then from the options check that you have the working COM Port chosen by running the test. if it is giving you that error either the ignition is not switched on or the wrong port is chosen. and preferably always choose the same USB port or else you will have to continually change the COM port setting
