  • If your after black headlights, look out for the In-pro's They are basically the original lights and retain the original refractors but have black back grounds I also have the HID's with them.....awe

Here's a quick couple of snaps of my rear LED Hella's.

Got them from VREDPOLO.

Wanted them to complete the around LED look. Fronts, sides & now rears. Will get some better pics up soon, once the weather sorts it self out.

Forgot to state that I had to alter the lights to get the correct bulbs working. Removed the red and clear filters and added a red bulb for my fog light. Still wont pass an MOT but at least the bulbs do the correct job. Also now my reverse light is twice as bright which helps having only one.

Finaly received my colour coded badge from 3LL1077 from UK-POLOS and found time to fit it.

Here's my old one

Then once I had removed it

Here's some pics of my new Carbon Fibre tax disc holder. Got fed up that the blue wasn't a perfect match. This will also save a bit of weight :lol:

I want your parcel shelf :)

It is VERY popular!

Here's my other new addition, a K&N induction kit.

Engine bay before hand:

Half way through the swap:

Then with the kit fitted:

I'll give an update on its performance soon...

I altered the cold feed slightly to bring it nearer to the filter and here's a pic of where I fed one of them from,

Well the K&N filter did make the car feel more responsive and did give quite a nice sound in the high revs but i've decided to take it out (after 3 days) and upgrade to a BMC CDA. Which is on order as you read! :lol:

Replacing the K&N with a BMC CDA (when it arrives) and changing the chrome rear badge to a black one to match the rear lights. Pics up soon...........

Lookin good mate!

Did the beetle sunglasses holder fit easily?? I'm up4 1 ;)

Yeah exact fit mate. Just remove the two screws and replace the grab handle with the sunglasses holder.

Just picked up my x-mas present from my girlfriend.......

Hopefully fit them this weekend.

Well I finally received my BMC CDA and cold air feed and fitted it yesterday. I much prefer the look of under my bonnet compared to the K&N. The performance seems about the same possibly better, slightly more responsive than standard. But it would be a lot more effective and efficient. The noise is also pretty good. A nice deep note at high revs.

Haven't updated this thread in a while, so here's an update from my UK Polo's thread:

Here's another two little extras i've got.....

I removed the chome badge and bought a black badge and added it to the colour coded rear.

Also found a black mirrored finish 3rd brake light to match the black hella's as suggested. Have fitted it and does look a lot better now 8) .

Took some pics while doing it but it got too dark. So the two below are just where I drilled the hole. I will post the completed pics up tomorrow, and hopefully clean it! I agree performance and efficiency will be increased but the noise will be quieter. I ended up cutting off 530mm of pipe! Just under half I think.

Thanks for your tips and advice guys. A great help once again. :wink:

Here's the pics of where I moved the cold air feed to.

I was working on the car this morning and after driving in the rain last night I found a lot of water sat in the cold air feed and wet half way up. Not sure if its possible but there could be a risk of it sucking water in (dry at the filter end though) and the water is going to cause the inside of the pipe, where the metal coil is exposed to rust. So I moving it to next to the battery or back to its original position. One bonus. Noise is back. :D

Here's a couple of pics of my car in the snow, around lunchtime. By 3ish the aerial was completely hidden!

Bought another little mod to neaten up the rear. A rear aero wiper. Had one that used the original arm but that looked awful so got rid of that. Then found this. Had to do a minor alteration but now fits a treat. Works better than the standard one did with a new blade. Will post pics up of the rear soon.

I finally got round to giving the car a good clean and taking some pics.......
