anywhoo, isnt it possible to just remove the bottom grill or would i have to take the whole bumper off to do that?
Link working again. Was on holiday so I switched off the particular PC that has that on it.


Ah well that solves the mystery to what that is attatched to the bumper, cheers Yorks 8)

I'm the amature that created the document... it took me rougly half an hour to get it off and get it on again in total. Had tools to hand though. It's really not that hard to do :)

Bit confused about you question about the LED's you plan to put in. :?

lol ye about that LED light...i just want to place on behind the lower centre grill for that "glowy"...i want to wire it up to the back of my headunit so i was wondering if i could get the wire from the LED tube to the engine area so i can feed it into the car( like a amp wire would be fed into a car from the battery through that hole in the passenger footwel)

what you think of the LED idea...i been told im tryin to "chav" my car up but i think it will look cool..

Well you've answered your own question about feeding the wires in to the car for the LED, I'm sure it'd work.

About the LED... well it all comes down to personal opinion. My opinions vary greatly, i'd perhaps agree you were trying to "chav" up your car. However I agree more stongly that everybody has there own ideas and with out this you wouldn't get individuality. But another factor is i've got no idea what your polo looks like to give my very own specific opinion :)

Give it ago, see what you think, if you don't like it you can change it at the end of the day :wink:

Hi,

The link to the front bumper removal PDF isn't working, can you fix it or is the document located somewhere else?

Thanks,

Ian
