I've just done this to my car and it's a pretty simple mod and very effective and possible theft deterrant. As well as looking great

I had my car de-locked by a main dealer for about £14. I didn't have the torx tool needed... But I'll be sure to buy a torx set when I get the dashboard cup-holder.
That's a mod I'll try and do by myself (for cost reasons!!).

Great job (especially since you had to paint the plastic cover)! Thanks for the pix... Too late for me though.

I still think you got a good deal
I'm just saying they take so long here. They took 3 days to change a belt on my car. Good job they give me a Golf GTi 180 to pass the time or I would have been complaining!
They are pretty lazy though. They charge for everything. Luckily I can take my car another 20 miles and get good service, I only leave the smaller things to my local dealer.
They just had a big launch this weeked, baloons, kids bouncy castle, give aways, prizes because they've started selling 'Accessories'
And you wouldn't believe how poor they are with customer relations.
Oh, and their website still shows the polo 6n (1999) as their current model.

It's easier for the Mk4/5.
The handle is one-piece, so you can just remove the retainer screw, slide the handle forward a quarter of an inch, then lift out the lock-barrel-side, then slide it all backwards again a quarter of an inch, then remove completely. Make sure there's no grit or sand between the handle and the paintwork.

Will it fit
Hi
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I much prefer the handles off the 9N to my current ones. But was wondering if they fit the 6N in any way.
Does anyone know
