Hello!
New to all this but anyway.. I'm getting a new 9n FSI Sport very soon and had the choice of coloured seats/interior Grey/Red/Blue.
Does anyone have any pictures or know where there are any of the different interiors. Apparently you can also get different colour dash? black or grey. is that true? And what is the difference between sports seats and the normal ones?
Can't make up my mind. Although the red one comes with a sunroof (extra 300) and roof spoiler (free!) so I'm tempted to get that one.
Anyway, trading in my MK 5 1.0. Sad to see it go... but it was sloow and cost more to insure!?!.
Cheers.
James.

sports seats usually have bigger bolsters (arse supports) which means that under spirited driving conditions you slide around in the seat a lot less

Get Lost Ash!
Hi Petrified! Welcome to the Forum!
What colour car are you getting?
Either way, I recommend the Black Dash and Sports Seats! (Red Sports Seats if you are getting a Red, Black or Silver Car)

Hello Petrified, and welcome!
Don't know about any pics, but aren't there any pics in the brochure?
I didn't know about the dash colour, thought the only option was grey
I'd agree with Josh though, get red seats with a red, silver or black car, and if you're getting blue, get blue ones

Hi!
I'm getting Diamond Black. And by the sounds of it Black Dash and Red Seats! The car will only take a couple of days to arrive so I might have it as soon as next week.
The only mods planned at the moment apart from the the sunroof and spoiler that will be coming with it will probably be 17" Wheels although I'll spend a while deciding which ones to get. Oh, and the sunglasses holder! Which looks ace, and practical!
I've got a sony minidisc head and CD auto changer that I'll be fitting in there from my old car, and although I'm told the existing speakers are pretty good I'll probably get some decent ones in time.
-- Oh , Just looked in the brochure and it does show the Blue seats (stupid me for not looking!) and I think the dash comes in Black, Grey or Cream depending on the model. Again, in the brochure...

Sounds nice
Yeh 17s are the way to go imo!
The standard speakers are actually very good for stock, but I've upgraded them anyway, to some Infinity Components, amped of course
Didn't know about the black dash, knew about cream, urrrgh!!!

Right, I spent months studying the brochures while waiting for my car. So here are the dash options
E, S models have a Choice of Anthracite (dark grey) and Light Grey (which is in my car) depending on which colour interior you go for.
SE models have a choice of Anthracite, Light Grey and Cream (depending on which trim choice you go for again)
SPORT models have the choice of only Anthracite dash unless the car is specified with Cream leather, so the dash will be cream.

Interesting Nelson....
So its just the lower part of the dash that changes colour isnt it? So in that pic above, thats the dark grey? And you and I have the light grey? Is that right?

Thanks for the help guys. I have problems making desicions!
I spent most of the day last week at the dealers insisting on test driving 4 different models of the new polo!
1.2 65
1.4 FSI 86
1.4 100
1.9 TDI
and they threw in a Beetle 1.8T too! which was lots of fun but way out of my price range, and tiny inside for the size of the car.
The TDI really kicks some arse but I couldn't afford it. But I found it hard to see a huge difference between the FSI 86 and the 100. Apart from fuel efficiency of the FSI and a slightly smoother drive.
The 1.2 was pretty good too, a lot faster than my 1.0 at the moment, but i'd convinced myself to get the 'sport' and you dont get the choice.

I've ordered the car now and sorted out my insurance (I actually save £6.20!) I could have it as early as monday!
It's DBlack with the red seats.
If you have photos I'd still like to see them. My email should be below as I've just made it public.
Many thanks,
James.
