UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

i proceed with limited know-how and uncertainty. [emoji23] the gel pad diameter is 31mm. the rlhs diameter is 34mm. So the masking hole i decided to go for 30mm. hopefully its enough to ‘expose’ the sensor elements.

Hey Benzin, make the masked hole of a smaller diameter, 28mm or even 27mm for a better result.
You will get better aesthetic results (as factory) and the sensor will work correctly.

I had to correct mine to a lower diameter (28mm) so that an outer circle could not be seen that the gel pad could not cover.

Now I post some images ... wait

My first attempt, Ø > 28mm.



My second attempt, Ø = 28mm.


psss... not perfect, but a little better.
(I'm waiting for the windshield to break, I haven't had such luck during these years ..)

as you can see I edited some post.

thanks ciclo. it is good to know that we can do up to 27mm diameter. I did 30mm and it looks fine for me. but the masking sticker is not good, so i didnt get perfect circle. but from outside i manage to avoid the issue as you mentioned.




oh btw, of course i have been reading your thread all over again and it has been helpful. I used the same primer and 2K glue as you mentioned. I know you did it 28mm. But so i thought anything smaller than the gelpad and rlhs, should be alright.

I was really confused by your picture, like, is your kid driving?
But then I remembered. RHD...

haha. please dont forget some of us are in the other part of the world. hence it took me 2-3 years to do this mod[emoji23]

i feel bored. so as i saw the old stalk without the CCS inside one of my box, i took out and start playing with small mask sticker 2mm by 2mm to make the letter A[emoji1787]

Hehe. i’m working on it. I need a better masking sticker[emoji23]. The cutter printer im using is good for small stuffs. So far promising[emoji28].

It is a good idea.
The challenge would be to find a clear symbol (that anyone understand it) for HB flash.

For example, I really like the new/recent symbol (cloud / rain) for the bad weather lights used by the Golf 8.

Hehe. Thanks Ciclo. It’s good idea. but i guess the challenging part is to ‘print’ the small text on that stalk. I don’t think i’ll be able to do that. The arrow part is way easier. If we are talking bout something easy to understand, maybe can do like this[emoji23].



but again. small text.

Finally. Completed the puddle light inside the side mirrors.

Very Nice!!!!
Details please.

details coming soon. but for start, its an led from puddle light made for golf mk6 (i think). i took out the body, custom the body to fit the tight space in polo.

looks good, waiting for the details ...

so hello everyone, here's the details. Since it's quite lots of photos, so i decided to make a video instead. I guess its better. btw, the wiring part: of course referring to Ciclo's thread, where the wiring for these puddle lights LED are directly from the Footwell Light harness, going through the door connector etc.
