That is awesome in that colour and in my humble opinion way way better than the previous red

@RichTea; looks good. That colour really suits the Polo.

Did you also wrap the ‘concealed’ parts - e.g. lower A and B pillars, hinges, door / tailgate shuts and returns that can only be seen when the doors / tailgate are opened? I’ve watched some car wrapping TV programmes (Yianni Supercar Customiser) and YouTube videos, and some of those parts look quite challenging to wrap because of the many different angles and contours on those parts of the car body panels.

No mate i never bother with the hidden bits lol. Only person that ever sees them is me and its to much head work. Plus i change the colour at least twice a year so its pointless really

I also wanted to retrofit the glove box light.
This is the original part "5G1858309" with the switch, missing is the wiring diagram that I have no idea where to connect or the rest of the material...

If anyone knows and wants to share, I would appreciate it...
