That grille looks spot on, I'll definitely be buying one of those and the bonnet sound deadener for mine. The prices don't look too bad for what you get :D

So today i thought i would do my Chrome indicator bulb change only takes about 15-20 mins. Here are a few photo's of before and after. I am using the Philips silvervision bulbs due to them not being coated with what looks like lottery scratch card paint. They still let the amber light shine through.

Headlights before

And with the Philips Silvervision bulbs 8)

Then i moved around to the rear and did the rear indicator bulbs. (Tip don't follow the owners manual to the letter) Instead of trying to unplug the lamp with it still in the car undo the securing bolt and pull the lamp forward then unplug.

A simple mod that makes a big differance 8)

Oh my dealer is on the case of the missing tow eye cover! I suggest those who don't have one contact your salesman and ask him where yours is! Im thinking they get lost in transit when they are tied down on the ship/car transporter :?: Either way i want one. :wink:

Hey man. Great mods =)
Have you done any researches about exhaust pipes? I really like GTI twin pipes, do you know if we can somehow fit that to our 1.4 std polos? (preferably cheap, without buying whole GTI exhaust system)

(i am probably getting gti rear bumper as well)

Mmh not to sure about the gti exhaust trim? I know it won't fit a standard bumper without cutting it.

You can buy whole bumper if anything, should cost around 400 euro from what i understood (thats one of the most expensive mode i am planning aside from chip tuning).

What i am interested in now is twin pipe (as opposite to single std pipe). That beautiful thingie in chrome that stick out of the bumper.
Do you know if pipe will fit or maybe there is a similar no name mode available.
