welcome to the forum mate. tho if ur car is a 2001 itll be mk4 or 5 (not 2 sure when they changed over)

mk5

welcome to the forum! and yeah, 2001 will be mk5! (also know and as a 6n2!)

Thanks for the welcome there guys,its just on the docs it says a mkIII hmm i think a little bit more delving deeper i feel

Ian

Thats basicly my car, but a 51 plate

odd car that one above is....has colour coded rear bumper strip and side strips, but no colour coding on the front bumper strip

anyways, you'll be wanting the Mk5 (6N2 Is the vw code )section.

I think that one is a match like mine but obviously has a different front bumper

Yep, that one is defo a MK5 Polo MATCH - the DVLA check shows this also

Guess the car dealer you got it from replaced the front bumper at some stage or maybe just the bump strip

^^ Ian's car is similar, but not that exact one

he said basically

i think he meant colour and shape

Yep indeed, slight mis-read, but the 'problem' still is there with that partiuclar car having a black front bump strip and the rest colour coded

accident damage - someone bought the wrong bumper?

thanks for all the help guys, and yeah MY front bumper is colour coded

Hi there - if its exhausts you're interested in I can't recommend Powerflow highly enough. They'll fit you a stainless system, from the cat back (to keep the MoT happy), in whatever specification you'd care. AND (perhaps most importantly) they'll offer you impartial advice, and won't sell you anything you don't need. For around £300, including VAT, fully fitted, you get a bespoke system with a lifetime guarantee that not only looks the mutt's nuts, but also delivers both in terms of sound and performance. That said, bear in mind that a flashy exhaust won't make a massive difference to any engine...and that goes from 1 litre all the way up to a GTi. What you get is better breathing...therefore better engine response...and therefore a more satisfying drive.
Oh yeah, there's also the excellent noise they make and the lovely chrome tailpipes they do!
Check out this link for their website, the've got dealerships all over the place.

And I'll post some pics of my system to show you the finished product.
