they fit, but not perfect because the trunk of a mk5 is a bit different then from a mk4

Ignore em J-O. if you want em - go get em! :lol:

They look the nuts on dark coloured cars and really and to the Bling factor of the polo. the look great with the chrome headlights and side repeaters.

at the end of the day - if they do go out of fashion (as everything does - remember when limo tints and 3-spokes were cool?) its easy to change them, they aren't exactly difficult to remove are they?


Haven't we had this conversation before Alex? :D

now id like to say personally that if every one liked the same thing when modifying cars then it wouldnt be any different to owning a stock car as you would be identiacl to every one else so if you want em then you get em. look at some other types of cars that by pure concidence happpen to look the same in modified form
corsa, yes ok its blue and very retty but so is the one next to it and the one next to that too ...
novas, the main styling trens have come and gone and then they had their sub trends but now people are trying to dein new body kits for them and imho trying too hard because there using styling cues that work with modern standards and styles but the designers forget that the nova was designed 15 years ago (which is a tribute, even though some may have a but/lot/all of the metal substituted with rust :P )
so al i ask is to try and keep a theme going because you have a very nice kit and from the sounds of it plenty of great ideas so please dont let people stifle you and try and keep the mods limited to ones that flowe with existing lines or lines you wish to create in the near future

Sorry guys,

It's just that when I hear 'Lexus' and 'VW' in one sentence I can't help myself. It's like this dark force takes over and makes my do the things I do.

:lol:

But seriously,

Karl's right, they can look okay. I can't say phat. But okay is something I can admit to. The In-Pro ones are pretty decent. Especially if it suits the style of the car.

*ducks to avoid flamewar*

But even Lexus's (Lexii??) look crap with them now.

One mod that has been played out. Played out for far too long now.

I think I only saw a handful of these nasty lights at GTI Inters, and really, that aint a bad thing. Go to a Lax Pooer event and see how many cars DON'T have them....

I say keep VW's modified with taste.
