UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hello everyone!

Let's start discussion about doing facelift to older 6R. Outside facelift is reasonably easy. Only front and rear bumpers and lights are new. Standard models are using front bumper from GTI/BlueGT. I guess the new rear lights are direct swap. What about the LED front lights?

From the inside it gets slightly trickier. New Polo features the new enterteinment system from Golf VII. Is it in any way compatible with the electronics of the old model? Otherwise inside got really minor changes.

Some pictures, mainly of the interior details. New is some standard model, old one is BlueGT with xenon, RCD-510, automatic climatronic, rain sensors etc.

Old style. Not easily interchangeable? Bad news Ciclo?


Overhead lights are identical in new Polo.


Completely new rear view mirror.


Seen from the outside.


Rear VW emblem now has glossy background.


Feel free to post more pictures and ideas about the facelift. My future plans are to get the new tinted rear lights for my BlueGT.

matti excellent pictures, thank you very much for sharing.
Four plastic and a couple of connectors. Easily interchangeable stalks ... lol

Cheer up and tries what I mentioned by email.

Great pics. For what it's worth I think I prefer the pre-revision parts, apart from maybe the lights.

Here Joelburbidge gave us a good link.

For the steering wheel on the R-line seems to be like the Golf VII. I leave here the image to comment ...



****Good news matti taillights are 100% interchangeable. Same connector, same bulbs. You can see in the ETKA online****

Edit: I made ​​a mistake with ETKA , it is not a direct change.
- A new adapter cable is required.
- Lamp sidelight is now 16w, 5w before.

I defo want some tinted rear lights and new LED front lights if they are a direct swap but will wait for someone to do it before I do lol.

Today at the dealership.

I add some pictures:









without trip




6C1 with automatic lights and halogen headlights.

I like the new key like the one from the Mk 7 Golf.

But not so much the rest of the details you showed here.

I went for a parts and I was in a hurry, sorry, no more to show...

I have other for my tinkering ...

The new Polo is no longer called 6R but is now called 6C instead.

Anyone know if front headlights are interchangeable from 6C to 6R?
