UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Abit of a stupid question to ask but what is the difference between a Genesis, Boulvard, County Etc??

Trim levels, extras etc.

Like [your] modern day 'Finesse', 'Elegance', 'Sport' and so on.

Here comes the 21 questions.

Whats the difference and in what order do they come.

County was a mk2 spec but the ocassional mk2f(mk3) turns up (best person to ask is Gareth!

boulvard was a limited edition more or less the same as the genesis i.e tinted glass etc but the interior was black and said "VOLKSWAGEN" all across it in multi colours. dont think it got a rev counter or GT/G40 stearing wheel thow!

If you look a few posts above/below there is one on genesis and CL specs,

i have the dealer spec list somewhere in the house it would list all the differences i will see it i can find it.

Thanks a bunch mate. i had my heart set on a Mk4 but my bank balance is moving it to a Mk 3

correct, the seats had volkswagen written all over them, very groovy i must say! no G40/GT steering wheel and no rev counter is also correct! but they did have black trim, door pockets, centre console etc etc, black cover over the rear boot lip (very useful for protecting the boot surround). also had very smart bits between the two side windows which had polo written all over them in a gloss black on a matt black background! unfortunatly they are obolete now which is a pain cause i'm after them!

black cover over the rear boot lip

I only found out that part existed about a month ago when i was wondering round the scrapy! its cool!

do you know if the squareback version got it to? as i am after one now!

I got the first aid kit holder and warning triangle and holder out a boulevard coupe in the scrapy Oh and the boot side carpets and rear seat belt guides (that fit in the door cards). i had a big smile all the way home from the scrapy that day!!! my parents just didn't get it thow!

i don't no if they do a squareback one, but i'm after another coupe one for the G40! its a really good idea!

i haven't got the warning triangle, i would love one of those! o and mud flaps, i really want mudflaps! keeps the dam salt of the paint!

black cover over the rear boot lip

ive got 1 of those, but it isnt in the greatest of conditions. Still undecided if im gonna use it or not

any ideas if u can still get them from vw?

any ideas if u can still get them from vw?

nah ive no idea, didnt even know they existed till i found it in the scrappy

special feature models included the Boulevard and Genesis. The Boulevard was a special equipment Fox with minor additions such items as a glove box door and CL wheel trims. The Genesis model in the UK - unrelated to the version sold elsewhere relating to the band Genesis - could be bought in either 1043 cc or 1272 cc guises, and featured "Modekaro" seats from the Scirocco GT II, a rev counter, sunroof and digital clock. The runout model of the 2F was the Match, which featuring five spoke Sport Rader alloy wheels along with £640 worth of other extras, it proved relatively popular considering the imminent arrival of the Mk3

EDIT: Site i took that off gets the mk's a bit wrong

i don't think anyone can get the mk's right! there are so many different ways of looking at it!

ahh, the one i forgot, the door on the glove box! silly me!
good info though! nice one!

If you know the part numbers of these, I would suggest trying

http://www.vw-classic.net/

The guys here are very helpful, but as the website is only in German, I've found you always have a better chance of finding what you want if you quote the part number.

It's surprised me what Mk1 bits I've found here

I can't find a part number on ETKA for the rear boot lip, but I have found the following:

"867 853 309C - trim for door frame - LEFT - BOULEVARD

867 853 310C - trim for door frame - RIGHT - BOULEVARD"

hope this helps!
