will these chrome strips fit the polo 9n, and if so where can i get them from

Yeah the chrome strips should fit the 9n apart from the rear bumper! Dont think you will get your hands on these Im sure they are a "one off"! Not too sure though if Im wrong no doubt some one will say

I think this was a car featured on a stand at motorshow dont know where or which one. Am I wrong guys?

Dont think it would be to hard to make a set.

Nelson is the master of chrome

Polo-03 is right. They were a one off.

i want those too

Any chance dealers can order something like that?

you should be able to get your standard ones chromed, someone round here did it to his Punto GT.

speak to a metal fabricator or a wheel repair service.

There are stick-on chrome strips in either 7 or 20 mm width for sale on German eBay. Yes, I know it's all I ever say (ebay this, ebay that...), but perhaps it helps. They're made by 3M, self-adhesive and look okay.

Don't know if it would work with the stock rubbing strips though.

What do dealers know these days??

I would expect more intelligence for a vw dealer

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2003 5:38 pm**

bart, I think he means a local garage, not a dealers! But still...

Not sure about the chrome strips, but milotec make chrome door handle covers that look nice on my Fabia.

You can buy them from http://www.jhmbuttco.com/. As they are standars vw door handles on skodas they should fit perfectly.
They should be showm om the illustrated catalogue and are in the parts cat as well. you will have to download them on pdf (go for the fabia cat)

Weblink is down.

It looks like the web page is down, if anyone pm's me their email address, i'll send the pdf files to you myself.

If you are going to the kent meet on the 25th you will see them on my Fabia.

Update: the files are too large for me to send. If you can wait until the 25th, the files are on my pda and you will see them there. I apologise in advance
