UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well i really like the tints and they set it off nicely but the rear window one has gone a bit bubbly, and people will be able to see the parcel shelf too with them off

I'm dreading the hot weather though with the leather! Lol

I can honestly say make use of the cold weather with the leather seats lol, my car is like an oven with double thick floor carpet, double headlining with dynomatt, wrapped cards and all being leather with again dynamatt in the doors this car off mine gets silly in the summer! Plays havoc with my sound system lol!!!! Hotting"ell!!!!

Tints all gone will show off your inside big time, I wanted tints but I thought best show off my interior really....

You got your parcel shelf side trims done aswell?

Haha yeah leather can be a nightmare in the summer in fairness

The car park in my work is a proper sun trap so getting into the Polo after work in the summer was horrible, I used to leave the windows open full all day but it didnt make much difference. It would deffo benefit from a sunroof but an all black leather interior is always going to be hot.

That's why I ended up buying seat covers for it to protect the leather and my ass from getting fried
It also worth getting one of those Sun Shields that fits on the windscreen to keep it cool when parked up

Haha yeah i think i'm going to get some covers for the summer, just for when the car will be sat in the sun for ages at a time. Can't be dealing with sweaty arse cheeks lol.

I'm just getting the parcel shelf done for now but if it looks odd i'll get the side trims done too

I'm thinking about a full boot build too but this will be the last thing I do... And my Mam can say goodbye to her full on shopping trips to Asda if I do! Haha

Hahahaha! I will try my best to park in the shade like!

Sun shield is a good idea but doubt it would last long where I live!.... And leaving the windows open is definately not an option!! Lol

Yeah my boot build died ages ago lol! Couldn't be assed to finish it off but I will finish it this year I hope ha!!! Deffo getting a sun blind aswell.!

Hahaha. I'll not go for the sun blind..... Unless you can get one for the inside????

I've seen an awesome red gti with a really good boot build so defo looking into it!.... With the gti being my daily i'm still in two minds but I always have my 1.0e to fall back on. Plus it gives me the excuse not to do the shopping!

Think my hearing is on it's way out aswell due to my twin 12" jl audio subs, it does hurt by boy it's worth it ha..! What kind of build you want?

Aha the sun shields are the foil things you put on the inside of the window?? they clutter up Tw car but save you from a burning bottom.

Iye the shields are for the inside, they look awful but do serve a good purpose on those hot summer days

The tints are off, didn't take long at all...... 15 minutes and a hair dryer, sorted!

Before:



We have light:



Also, i'm thinking about getting the headlining done leather aswell. Has anyone had theirs done? If so, can you post me some pics?

Thanks

I wanted mine done in leather but my trimmer said it would be very difficult to do with all the sunvisor bits n bobs, he said he could do it but would take a while n cash money's.... And it would have to be a big hide lol!

Lol, yeah I figured it will be a big and expensive job, will be worth it though if it is do-able..... Poor cows, they will be put to good use though! Haha

You should get a spare and get that trimmed.

I've started shifting a lot of Polo stuff, be quick if you want the switches and the cupholder.
chuck your number across and I'll let you know when I'm down t'unit.

I already have a cupholder, Panda beat you to it! Haha

Might pop down the unit one day to see what bits and bobs you have though
