Pretty sure they're not the OEM units, they look like the riceboy version from Halfrauds
Even the factory xenon units look tacky .... Can't understand the need to make the polo look like a halfords special.
Slightly off subject i thoughht it was law to have driving lights now on all new cars?

They look like 5x100 Talladega replicas from the short view you have of them. As far as a Polo R goes, this is just a badged and kitted up Polo

Appologies for being slightly off topic but has anyone had any experience fitting OEM bi-xenon headlamps such as these:

What else would I have to purchase to fit these myself?
Cheers

Standard dealer response to buy themselves some more time! I bet they haven't completed the training required to fit these yet so they're using a cock and bull story to buy themselves two weeks!

That's definatley the case, the dealers don't want to carve into peoples bumpers so they will do everything possible to try and delay it!
