Re: GTI grill to fit polo 6R

Re: GTI gauges in 1.2TSI car

would be tricky to do as each instrument panel is coded to the car because your immobiliser runs through it,you would need a brand new cluster and have vw code it for you, could get expensive mate

Re: My Polo 6R Build Thread.

thanks mate, and yeah my badge was matte but I've re-painted gloss to go with the roof, to remove the badge turn to the right while pulling slightly and it unclips from the grille, I'm soon to do the rear badge when I have some free time it's held in by three bolts behind it (very easy to remove).
