UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Haven't updated this thread in ages so I decided to just do it now. I've done quite a few things to my car since last time.
Here's a list of everything I've done.

-Put in a Gti Grill
-Got an SEL grill and painted the chrome strip red
-Replaced Side Lights with LED's
-Replaced Dipped and Main beam with Osram Night Breaker Plus bulbs
-Replaced interior and boot lights with LED's
-Got an Audi A3 exhaust tip
-Got new pedals
-Put a metal dead pedal cover on with carbon fibre vinyl underneath.

Here's some pictures from a while ago taken straight after I just cleaned it. All I've done in these is put in the two new grills. I also had a £10 exhaust tip I got from eBay on but it rusted so I replaced it.





Now here's some pictures I took recently of the things I've done. Cars really dirty because its winter and I don't want to freeze to death when cleaning it.

The red trim round the lower grill looks like something of af Kia Picanto...

And please remove the GTI badge from the front since it's not a GTI...

Other than that, nice looking car.

SO they kia remark is what sarcasm? and would mean the gti looks like a KIA?
agree about the GTI badge though but surely if u don,t like something say so its about personal taste and innuendo is just being a b***h

Thanks I kind of see what you mean about the Kia but I'm not bothered I think it looks really good. I do want to take the gti badge off but I took it off to see what it would look like but the weird bit underneath annoyed me. Im either gonna buy something to put there instead or make something. Not to sure yet.

I can't speak for anybody else but myself... So of course it's just my own oppinion. (Looking at it now I see that I probably could have said it in a nicer way. Wasn't my plan to offend anybody. Sorry if that wast the case.

And no. I didn't say that the GTI's look like Kia's.

I think the red trim on it looks good really sets of the bottom grill ! You've done a good job on it looks really tidy !
Good effort !

Thanks!

I'm liking the red trim I breaks up the black a bit and you've done it properly with a SEL grille, the alloys look amazing but still undecided whether to get them or not, I'll see closer to the time. Did you get the multi-function steering wheel?

Thanks Ye I love the alloys. Happy I got them and ye I did get the multi-function steering wheel.

Nice, what side pedals did you order buddy? Left hand side or right?

Got the right hand side ones. I don't think the left hand ones fit properly in a right hand side car. I was told the accelerator one is the problem

Just a quick update. Ive put in LED strips as footwell lights. Think it looks really good!

Love what you've done to ya car mate, looks really nice. How did you manage to wire leds in the footwell?
Heres a link to my group on facebook www.facebook.com/groups/228969650523586/

Thanks I ran two 1 core cables up each side to the front interior light. Soldered the two positives to the light. Cramped the two negatives to the negative wire going into the light unit. So they both work the same as each of the side lights in the unit. So if the passenger turns on their light their foot well light comes on as well. Its the same for the driver as well. Sorry im not very good at explaining haha

Footwell lights are really cool and adds a real tint of class to a car's interior.
btw, I really like a black 6R, especially with a GTI grille!
