GTI Leather is rare as Fook if you want proper xenon bulbs they come with power packs check ebay.
i got some philips blue vision bulbs instead for my beam and white led's for my sidelights they look alot better than standard yellow.

Elliott i had a polo 1st so you both copy'd me lol i put my d90's back on today it looks alot better now.

for HID fulls and fogs you need retro HID kits,

I wouldnt advise eBay kits, I've had no experience with them, but I'd guarentuee you'd have some sort of problem with them.

Instead look at H7 and H1 kits on HIDs4u.co.uk, and pm Alexperkins for the uk-polos discount code (it's something close to half price off!)

A re-trim, or for the fronts -

golf mark 3
cupra (mark 3?)

audi tt also, but you'll need custom subframes. Alot of other will fit also, you just ahve to done slight modifcations.

Rears - cupra benchs are the only bench I know of that are a reasonably easy fit. Everything else involves alot of modifications.

That's all i know off

Leather was a 1-1.5k option. I'm lucky to have it. If you find the exact seats they cost around £300-£500 on their own. A re-trim can look just as good if not better (see Tom aka ModifiedMadness's car) but will cost you

Yeh a decent re-trim will cost 1-1.5 k, maybe even more

Yeh after seeing those in person, i can say they're mint! the front doorcards are my fav part, but you can't quite see them there
