Yeah there's an indentation...plastic welding and filler/fibreglass needed

Think there is a thread somewhere about how to smooth the indentation using filler foam and a bread knife!! :lol: Looks like an awesome finish though. Also another thread and a guy does similar using fibreglass and his finish is top drawer as well, really detailed thread. Think it was on a red golf. I think the link was from on here though. Not much help but.... :-D

I smoothed my MK3 golfs bumpers using expanding foam..however there was alot to fill! I would go the plastic weld route for a polo though...not deep enough recesses for foam me thinks.

Whole point is doing it myself.. Its half the fun of modification IMO

ukpolos have a guide on it.. but apperently the expanding foam method doesnt work that well.. could you not just take them off and spray them???

They are colour coded already 8-)

would you consider selling the sides, front and rears if you do take them off? could be interested as my cars the same colour with black ones. :D
